Sheriff’s deputies responded to the school in regards to the bomb threat.

The threats Friday were not a coordinated effort, said Pascagoula-Gautier Superintendent Wayne Rodolfich, they were two separate issues.
Police worked with phone companies to determine the call had been made from a cellphone inside the school.
The school is in a “precautionary lockdown” and classes are continuing.
The threats came just a day after Gautier High School was evacuated Thursday. Gautier High senior Brittney Delaney said, “My momma told me to never call nobody stupid but I mean there’s nothing else to call it. It’s not amusing, it’s not a joke”.
And they weren’t confined to the district.
A juvenile student from Dalton High was charged on Friday with one count of making terroristic threats and one count of disrupting a public school in relation to Friday morning’s bomb threat at Dalton High. If you have any information on any of the six bomb threats, you are encouraged to call your local police department or Crime Stoppers. A 15-year-old was arrested in the D’Iberville case.

“We have a protocol we follow”, Rodolfich said.
