Normal operations have resumed at Holmdel schools, according to a Tweet from the school district.
Police went to Village School in Holmdel after school officials received a suspicious phone call Tuesday morning, according to the district’s website.
All of the district’s schools were put in “Shelter in Place,’’ mode, which means no one was allowed to enter or exit the building until police gave school officials clearance to return to normal operations, the notice on the district’s website said.
