COPPELL, Texas \u2014 Students are returning to school on Thursday after several North Texas high schools reported bomb threats on Wednesday, and two were closed as a result, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anna, Coppell and Duncanville High Schools all reported bomb threats on Wednesday. Anna and Coppell closed for the day as a result of the threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, Coppell ISD and police were made aware of a possible threat at the high school, the district said in a statement to parents. Classes were delayed, the students and teachers currently in the school were evacuated, and buses en route to school were deferred, officials said.<\/p>\n
Both Duncanville and Anna ISD were made aware of bomb threats before students arrived at school, officials said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Duncanville police conducted a sweep of the campus and the surrounding buildings and found there was no credible threat to campus, the district said in a statement. Classes went on as planned there, officials said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
