Jordan High School in Sandy was evacuated Thursday afternoon after a bomb threat was found written on a bathroom wall inside the building.
The threat is the second found on a bathroom wall at the school this week — and was the more severe of the two, Canyons School District spokesman Jeff Haney said.
Thursday’s threat was discovered just before 2 p.m., prompting school officials to evacuate the building of students, staff and teachers, Haney said. Students who drove themselves to school were allowed to leave campus after checking in as safe, while those who couldn’t immediately find rides were bussed to the Mountain America Expo Center, instead of standing outside, to wait for transportation because of the rain and cold temperatures.
