Bomb threat at Brandon Schools

Bomb Threat Concerns Raised
The Brandon School Division is taking parental concerns over a series of bomb threats very seriously. Written messages were found at four schools indicating a bomb would go off on Monday. Some parents have voiced anger about not being alerted to the situation until after sending their kids back to class yesterday.
Superintendent Doctor Donna Michaels says the division reacted to the situation quickly but does admit there is always room for improvement.
Michaels assures that none of the schools would of been open had there been any risk to students or employees. She says they warned parents as quickly as possible given the circumstance, but does admit that in retrospect a radio announcement could of been an option.
