A second threat was made against Winnipeg’s Elmwood High School, forcing the cancellation of more classes.
The Winnipeg School Division (WSD) was closed Tuesday morning “as a precautionary measure” after it says it received a second threat in two days.
Students and staff were scheduled to return to class Tuesday afternoon after the school division determined it was safe for them to do so.
“WSD takes the safety of its students and staff seriously,” said in a statement.
The school division added it does not believe the second threat is connected to the first.
Elmwood High School was closed Monday after receiving a threatening email the night before, according to Winnipeg police.
Oak Park School, part of the Pembina Trails School Division, was also closed Monday after allegedly receiving an emailed bomb threat.
Police were investigating.
