London, Ont. Catholic school board shuts two schools Tuesday due to bomb threat - London | Globalnews.ca

St. Thomas police and the London Police Service Explosives Disposal Unit will be searching both schools for an explosive device after a bomb threat was received early Tuesday.

“The threat was conveyed to the school board,” said Mark Adkinson, communication and public relations manager with LDCSB. “As police are requiring to do investigation at both schools, we had to make the decision early this morning to close the schools as a precaution and for practical purposes.”Toronto police mourn officer killed during break in ‘unprovoked’ Mississauga shooting

Adkinson said teachers and staff will reach out to students through the Virtual Learning Environment, when “appropriate and possible.” “It wouldn’t be like face to face online learning,” he explained. “It would be through teachers potentially directing students to, for example, read certain chapters or work or perform complete some assignments just to be prepared for the next day.”
