Jefferson County Schools Receive Bomb Threats

Several schools in Jefferson County each received a bomb threat on the evening of Tuesday, January 16th similar in nature to threats received by other schools throughout Montana. The schools impacted included Whitehall High School, Jefferson High School, and Montana City School. The schools immediately coordinated with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a sweep of their facilities. The investigations did not locate any suspicious devices. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with the Montana Department of Justice and the FBI regarding these incidents. We thank our partners at the schools for their vigilance and dedication to the safety of our children.
