Classical evacuated this morning

LYNN – Students and faculty at Classical High School were briefly forced to evacuate the building this morning after someone allegedly called the school to report a bomb in the building.
Lynn Police Lt. William Sharpe said Friday the school received an anonymous message early this morning, which he described as a bomb threat.
Students and faculty were evacuated from the building prior to the start of school and led across O’Callaghan Way to Breed Middle School while police searched the building.
Authorities were unable to locate any suspicious devices and determined the call a hoax. Students were returned to their classrooms by 9 a.m.
Classical Principal Warren White notified parents of the bomb scare and subsequent evacuation via the district’s ConnectED phone system.
“We received some information before school started that there may be something in the building so we sent our kids over to Breed as a safety precaution,” said White. “Everyone at Breed was terrific and our kids did a great job following the evacuation procedure. I want to commend our faculty as well as our students who did a great job showing a lot of maturity and poise moving from building to building.”
Police are investigating the origin of the phone call, but do not have any suspects.
