In a statement to parents, North Penn School District said students will be bussed home early, and that those who normally walk will need to be picked up, according to the report.
There's no mention of any threat or early dismissal on the school district's social media pages or website. North Penn officials did not immediately respond to Daily Voice's request for comment.
All after school activities at Penndale have been canceled, and a "heavy police presence" was described by WFMZ.
When administrators learned of the threat early this morning, students and staff were sheltered in place while police investigated, the outlet added.
