"Police said a bomb threat was found on a Springdale High School bathroom stall Friday.Authorities said the note is similar to 10 recent threats at area schools. Police said it was hard to tell when the threat was written.\u201CThe writing had the words \u2018bomb\u2019 and \u2018Springdale\u2019 in it,\u201D said Officer Derek Hudson of the Springdale Police Department. \u201CWe weren\u2019t sure how long it had been there. It was something you had to look pretty hard to see, so it could have been there for five minutes or it could have been there for five months. We don\u2019t know.\u201DPolice said they believe the note could have been left by a copycat. On Friday, bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to search the school.\u201CWhat kids need to understand is that we take these things seriously,\u201D Hudson said. \u201CWe take them serious. The school takes them serious, and juvenile court takes them serious.\u201DSpringdale High School Principal Pete Joenks sent a statement to parents explaining what happened.\u201CThe district administrators and Springdale P.D. joined in the investigation and determined it was not a credible threat,\u201D Joenks said in the statement.Joenks said school officials are giving information to parents in order to be transparent as they work to ensure the student safety.\u201COur principal made the decision to put that on Facebook, and if any parent did want to come and get their kids, they certainly could. Only a few have,\u201D said Rick Schaffer, communications director for Springdale Public Schools.School officials did not evacuate because they determined the threat was not credible.\"Connecticut last year has everyone on guard,\" Schaffer said. \"You just have to be, and that's why students have to be educated and say this is not something to fool around with.\"Police said they are continuing to investigate the threat.\"We're going to investigate it even if it's just some kid playing around with a pen and a marker in the bathroom,\" Hudson said. \"They could face criminal charges.\"Investigators said they do not have any leads about who made the threat."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
