Three schools are being evacuated after receiving bomb threats Thursday morning, according to the Northwest Local School District.

A bomb threat targeting Northwest High School, White Oak Middle School and Colerain High School prompted the evacuations around 8 a.m. All three buildings are in the Northwest Local School District.

The district said all students are safe.

According to the district, bomb dogs will search the three buildings. Students in each building will be dismissed.

The district said all other schools will still meet as scheduled.

Parents with students at Northwest High School are asked to pick up their kids on the side of the school on New Market Road. The district asked that parents only access the road from Pippin.

The district said Colerain High School students are being dismissed, starting with kids in the stadium. Parents picking up students are instructed to "come in off of Poole Road and use the scoreboard lot to circle around," NLSD said.

Some CHS students went to Northwest Community Church off of Cheviot Road. They can be picked up at the church.

Students at White Oak Middle School are being taken to First Pentecostal Church, the district said. NLSD is telling parents to come in through Cheviot Road to Blue Rock Road.

Out of caution, the district said the three buildings will be on "instructional lockdown" until the investigation is over.
