Bomb threat evacuates STEM Academy Monday

A Fond du Lac school was evacuated yesterday when a student found a written bomb threat in one of the schools bathrooms.

At about 1:00pm, Fond du Lac Police Department School Resource Officers responded to the STEM Academy at 401 S. Military Road and made the decision to evacuate students to an off site location, giving parents the option to pick up their children there.

Fond du Lac Police did two sweeps of the building before assistance from Outagamie County Sheriff’s bomb sniffing K9 did their own search. All searches ended with nothing being found and the school was deemed safe for the students to return.

The Fond du Lac Police department is investigating who left the note, and if you have any information, call the police department non emergency line at 920-906-5555.
