UPDATE AT 12:07 PM
From the Claysburg-Kimmel School District Facebook page: “At this time emergency procedures have concluded at the high school and all threats are deemed non credible. CTC students will transport to the Altoona CTC at 12pm. Emergency services are working on clearing the Elementary at this time.”
The Hollidaysburg School District also evacuated buildings after receiving the same email. The Spring Cove School district also received the similar email threat but the district did not evacuate as they had swept the buildings earlier.

Original Story: 11:35 PM
This just in from the Claysburg-Kimmel School District Facebook page: “The Claysburg Kimmel School District received a bomb threat email this morning. Many districts across the commonwealth and nationally have received the same or similar emails. The Pennsylvania Criminal Intelligence Center has no information to indicate these are credible threats. We contacted 911, the State Police, and Local Police. They are mandating that we evacuate the high school and Elementary school.
We were advised, out of an abundance of caution, to evacuate our buildings. Emergency evacuation procedures are being followed. We will keep you updated on the situation. Please do not report to district buildings at this time, this will slow emergency processes. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
Hollidaysburg Area School District has also received this treat and has also evacuated.
