Walt Whitman High School was evacuated Friday morning following a reported threat, according to Montgomery County police.
Police announced on X at 12:04 p.m. that the threat was determined “not valid” and the school is no longer in lockdown. Students and staff have returned to the building.
Shortly before 11 a.m., county police responded to the school and had “secured the area,” the department said on social media.
The reported threat comes weeks after Whitman High School was placed on lockdown after a reported threat. At that time, students and staff also evacuated the school. Officers determined that the May 17 threat sent to the school was unfounded, according to county police.
