Lehigh Career and Technical Institute in Schnecksville alerted police after receiving "a threat directed at the school," administrators said in a message on the school's website.

Classes are scheduled to resume normally on Monday, Oct. 31, they added.

The warnings came exactly two weeks after LCTI students and staff participated in a six-hour active intruder security drill, according to a post on the school website.
