Superintendent Karl Heidrich told the Lansing State Journal that they also placed the elementary school under lockdown "out of an abundance of caution." Elementary students were sent home today at 11:45 AM due to both the threat and the weather.

Earlier today at about 9:05 AM, the Stockbridge Junior/Senior High School was evacuated due to reports of a bomb threat written in the girls bathroom.

According to reports in the closed Facebook group, Stockbridge Mi Area News & Info, students were asked to quickly evacuate the High School. Students were not told why the school was being evacuated at the time, just to get out of the building.
