By TOM KANE

JEFFERSONVIVLLE — On the evening of June 1, a janitorial worker discovered a note taped to a wall in a restroom of the Sullivan West at Jeffersonville school. The note stated that a bomb would go off in the school on Monday, June 4.

Superintendent Michael Johndrow said the school notified the state police, who brought its K9 unit to the school to sniff out the bomb. No bomb was discovered, according to state police.

The school’s emergency team went into action and called every parent, notifying them about the threat and the state police investigation. Parents were urged not to allow students to carry any large duffle bags to school on Monday, Johndrow said.

Police and faculty were alert at the school’s opening on Monday, watching students as they entered. No incidents occurred, according to state police.

“This business wastes an enormous amount of time and uselessly upsets everybody,” said Johndrow.
