Four Washington County school districts dealt with bomb threats Monday morning. State Police say the threats were made through email and caused the Burgettstown High School and Middle School, the Fort Cherry School District and the Avella School Area District to evacuate students and staff. Authorities say the Washington County Sheriff’s Department bomb dog was sent to Burgettstown and officials reached out to the Trinity School District asking them to send their dog to go through one of the other schools. Burgettstown students were taken to the nearby Pepsi Cola Roadhouse and were home from there. On its website, Fort Cherry officials said that elementary students were sent home immediately. High School students were taken to the football field and were sent home on buses from there. As for the California Area School District, district officials, in a statement, said they worked closely with state and local police and determined that the threat was non-credible and chose not to evacuate anyone. Instead, they said they are continuing to closely monitor the premises. A similar threat was received over the weekend in the Albert Gallitan School District in Fayette County. Authorities there deemed that threat as non-credible as well and said they believed it to be part of a nationwide “swatting” effort.
