Bomb threat note found on wall in Erath boy’s restroom in gymnasium

ERATH - On Wednesday morning, someone wrote a note on the boy’s restroom wall in the Erath High gymnasium that allegedly said, “F...this school, I want to blow it up.”
A student saw the note when he went to the restroom and reported it to the Erath High administration.
The EHS administration quickly investigated the note, determined it was a threat and announced a school evacuation over the intercom.
Over the next two hours, the high school and middle school were evacuated and searched by bomb-smelling dogs.
No bomb was located.
By 1:30 p.m. the all-clear was given by law enforcement after no bomb was located.
The students of both schools evacuated and were taken to a safe location in downtown Erath.
By 1:30 p.m., the schools were dismissed, and the students were loaded onto school buses from the safe location.
This is the third year in a row that Erath High and Erath Middle have had bomb threats.
In 2020, someone older than 10 years old was arrested and charged with one count of communicating false information of a planned bombing in the town of Erath. The student allegedly left the bomb threat note on the school bus.
Erath schools had another bomb threat in May of 2021. A note was also left.
