HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An HISD elementary school is being swept after reports of a bomb threat on Tuesday, according to officials.
In a letter to parents, officials said Walnut Bend Elementary School was placed on “hold” as of 8:48 a.m. due to the threat.
“As a precaution, students and staff are asked to remain in their classrooms in order to keep the hallways empty. Classroom learning will continue throughout the Hold, but students will not be able to change classes,” the school said in the letter, adding that HISD police are on site conducting a “systematic sweep” as the campus remains on hold.
School officials said they will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates once they learn more.
