The West Ada School District distributed an update to families on Wednesday in response to statewide bomb threats that the district says have been determined to be a hoax.
In a message to parents and guardians, WASD advised that there have been several statewide bomb threats reported. Through investigation, it has been determined to have been part of a hoax.
At this time, West Ada has not received any direct threats, or reports of threats, at any one of its school sites or campuses.
