"While the threat is not believed to be credible, the police still recommended the evacuation out of an abundance of caution. Police will thoroughly sweep GMS in accordance with their safety protocols, and students and staff will return to GMS once the police have provided the 'all clear,'" Zito said in a statement.
The scene has since been cleared.
