Rochester Middle School Closed Because of Bomb Threat

ROCHESTER — Superintendent Kyle Repucci says that out of an abundance of caution, Rochester Middle School will be closed Friday because of a bomb threat.

School officials received an e-mail Friday morning stating a generic threat that the school would be bombed. Upon receiving the threat, public safety personnel were notified. Putting students’ and staff members’ safety first, the Rochester School District closed the middle school for the day.

At this time there is no evidence that the threat is credible, but the decision to close school for the day was made out of an abundance of caution.
