MENOMINEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Students of Menominee Indian High School were evacuated Friday after the district received a bomb threat related to the high school.
All high school students and staff were evacuated to the Menominee Casino Resort. Bussing has been arranged so the students can go home.
As soon as the building is clear, students will be allowed to retrieve their cellphones from the high school, which is expected to happen later Friday.
The district superintendent wrote:
