AMBLER, Pa. - The Wissahickon School District went 100% virtual Wednesday after a bomb threat was received.
Early Wednesday morning, police received a phone call indicating that a bomb was present at the Wissahickon High School. Shortly after 8 a.m., additional information made it unclear if the threat involved both the high school and the middle school.Although school officials say they are positive it was a hoax, out of an abundance of caution, they decided to go 100% virtual for grades six through 12.
Police are investigating, and are coordinating with county bomb squad units and the FBI. "What we know is calls exactly like this are being received by school districts across the country, demanding a ransom.
