On Wednesday afternoon, Talkeetna Elementary School received a threatening phone call while students were out of the building on a field trip.
Joe Schmidt, School Safety Coordinator for Mat-Su schools, says that the call is similar to one received at Pioneer Peak Elementary last week. He did not give details of the call.
Schmidt says that Talkeetna Elementary Principal Lisa Shelby made the right decision by keeping the students at the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar while the situation was being assessed. Bus and parent pick-ups were re-routed to the hangar.
Joe Schmidt says he expects the situation at Talkeetna Elementary to be resolved by tomorrow.
Wednesday’s call is one of several received at schools throughout the state in recent weeks.
