Students and staff were evacuated from Vallivue after the threat was made at 9:42 a.m., Sgt. Chad Sloan of the Caldwell Police Department told the Idaho Statesman.

Streets around the school are blocked, and a bomb squad was sweeping the school.

The threat was made by a person on the phone with police.

Threats were also made to Jefferson Middle School and Washington Elementary School, and they were evacuated. 

Kelsey Anderson of KBOI reported at 12:47 p.m. that students at Vallivue were being released to parents, and buses.

And KBOI reported around the same time that students were being allowed back inside all of the schools.
