The bomb threats have been made by robocalls, messages scrawled across walls in school restrooms, and on social media.

Police responded to Billerica Memorial High School, Shawsheen Valley Tech and Littleton High School after the schools received automated bomb threats Thursday morning.
For tactical reasons, all of the communities that received threats are not being listed by police.
Andover High School received the robocall at 7:34 a.m., prompting the evacuation of students and staff, officials said.
Neither district officials nor a representative of the Pickerington Police Department could immediately be reached for comment. Police said they swept AHS and students are returning to school for “business as usual”. Some schools evacuated students briefly, while others opted to place the school on lockdown while the property was searched.

Anyone else arriving at the school will also be sent to Ridgeview. Nothing suspicious was located and the school was re-opened at 8:10 a.m. “Threat has been deemed not credible, and the school day has not been interrupted. After an assessment of the entire building, the school was declared safe and all students and staff were able to report to their first period classes at 8:40”, Connelly wrote.
