For the second time in a week, police in St. Thomas say they’ve received a threat with the aim of cancelling classes at a local high school.
It happened just after noon on Monday, when a threat intended to cancel classes at St. Joseph Catholic High School was received by police, said St. Thomas police and the London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB) in a joint release.
They say students were evacuated to a nearby public school for about an hour and a half.
