Students at a Richmond Hill high school will be learning online on Friday as a “precautionary measure,” the school board says.

In an email to Global News on Thursday, a spokesperson for the York Region District School Board (YRDB) said students at Alexander Mackenzie High School will be “learning online” on Friday “due to an ongoing police investigation related to a threat.”

In a tweet, the YRDSB said bus and taxi service for routes servicing the school will also be cancelled.
