Students were evacuated and school was closed for the day after a bomb threat was found written on a bathroom wall at Van Buren High School.
The threat was found just after 1:00 Wednesday and students were immediately evacuated, according to Superintendent Merle Dickerson. School is out for the rest of the day while police bring in bomb sniffing dogs to search the school.
Parents are allowed to pick up their kids, and students who can drive are already leaving for the day.
"This is the first time I've ever had a bomb threat since I've been Superintendent," says Dickerson. "And I think we've handled everything well."
Hear from students who went through the evacuation tonight on the Fox News Edge at 9:00.
