Threat Not Believed to be Credible at Case

An official with the Racine Unified School District doesn’t believe a threat made earlier this morning is credible.

However, students at Case High School, 7345 Washington Ave., were dismissed at 11:30 a.m. The building was entirely clear at about 12:30 p.m. Monday.

“We dismissed early basically because of the time it would take to determine if the threat was credible,” said Stacy Tapp, director of public information and communications with RUSD.

Officers with the Mt. Pleasant Police Department are currently searching the building.

“We don’t believe it’s credible, but we’re using every available precaution to keep children,” Tapp said.

Tapp declined to go into detail about the specifics of the threat. She said the district preferred not to go into details to avoid copycats
