2 Glen Cove Schools Evacuate For 'Disturbing' Note

Students in Glen Cove Middle School and Deasy Elementary School were evacuated on Monday morning after a student found a disturbing note, police say.

According to police, a student had found a note at Robert M. Finley Middle School that made reference to a possible bomb inside the school at 8:23 a.m.

Police were immediately notified of the threat and they, through a joint investigation with the district, were able to identify the person responsible for the threat. The student responsible was interviewed by authorities and it remains unclear why they wrote the note, police say.

Students have since returned to their buildings.

Deasy and the Middle School also evacuated last month for a threatening note that was found at one of the schools.

"Whenever we feel there is any potential concern the district acts out of an abundance of caution and as the Middle School and Deasy Elementary School are connected students were temporarily moved to Glen Cove High School," the district said on its website.
