In New York, however, officials said a similar threat to schools had been received and was being treated as a hoax. To reassure students and parents, LAUSD Police Chief Steve Zipperman said all officers at the district will be in uniform the remainder of the week for high visibility.

Star Wars 7 Breaks Thursday Night Movie Opening Record With Million
The nostalgic and eye-popping Star Wars: The Force Awakens sees the return of old favourites and talented newcomers. The film is playing at a total of 4,134 North American locations on Friday – a record for a December opening.
All schools in Los Angeles, the second largest school district in the United States, were closed December 15, 2015 after officials reported receiving an unspecified threat to the district and ordered a search of all schools in the city. This is not a credible threat and not one that requires any action. “It was so outlandish”, de Blasio said.

However, it isn’t available for purchase, so there’s no way you can live your fantasy of becoming Marty McFly any time soon. But, what do I know? To make sure the wheels would handle the NX’s weight, acrylic inserts were added to boost strength.
New York Police Commissioner William Bratton agreed. “The investigation is ongoing as to where the threat originated from and who was responsible”, Schiff said in a statement quoted by the LA Times.

At Carpenter Elementary School in Hollywood, school officials were expected to be available to address questions and discuss how information is disseminated if a similar threat happens in the future. He says after Paris and San Bernardino, law enforcement has warned about the possibility of schools becoming terrorist targets.
Bratton called the closure a “significant overreaction”.
“They made a decision based on their analysis in their situation”. He submitted the proposal after hearing from a police chief about a case in which a threat on Facebook led to school evacuations but the suspect could not be charged with anything more serious than disorderly conduct.
“I know the kids are anxious”, she said.
The Los Angeles Unified School District lost $29 million in state funding following an anonymous email threat of a large-scale jihadi attack that prompted a district-wide closure. Yet it also points to a calmer and more sanguine response to the threat of terror, with the city opening museums to students for free and keeping city parks open late. “It was many schools, not specifically identified….” Beck added that police officers would be deployed at city schools to quell any remaining fears.
Later in the day, he conceded that the threat was not credible.
Los Angeles canceled school Tuesday in light of the threat Tuesday, prompting some criticism in NY, from Bratton in particular, for “overreacting”.
Ronna Bronstein, who has two sons in the fifth and eighth grades, said she was trying to find out more about the threat while shielding her younger child from the news.
The poll said 40 percent of respondents feel national security and terrorism should be the government’s top priority and more than 60 percent say those concerns should be in the top two.
