FREEDOM, Pa. — Freedom Area School District is moving to remote learning on Tuesday. This decision comes after a series of bomb threats made over the course of the past two weeks.
On Monday night, the district said high school and middle school students are expected to learn virtually, starting at 9 a.m., with scheduled operations running as they have during remote learning in previous years. Students are encouraged to check their schedule, which will be posted online.
Elementary school students will receive an email from teachers with assignments in the morning.
A bus will be made available to students who attend the Beaver County Career and Technology Center. It will pick up students at the district campus, but the students will need a ride there.
The decision comes after the district received another “emailed bomb threat for all schools” on Monday morning, marking the fourth threat sent to the district in a two-week span.
The first threat occurred on Aug. 31; the next two were the following week.
The Beaver County District Attorney said the FBI is investigating. Channel 11 has reached out to the FBI on multiple occasions as the threats continue. So far, they have not responded to those inquiries.
