OC Elementary School Cleared After Bomb Threat; Several Others Reported In Region Today, Yesterday

OCEAN CITY – Ocean City Elementary School is now re-open to students following a bomb threat that prompted an evacuation Tuesday morning.

Just a day after a slew of “robocall” bomb threats at schools in Delaware and Maryland, Ocean City Elementary received a threat from a live caller.

“OCES received a telephone call — it was not a robocall it was a live call — from an individual who said there was a bomb in the building,” said Carrie Sterrs, public relations coordinator for the school system. “All students and staff were safely evacuated.”

She said the call, which came in at about 9:15 a.m., prompted the evacuation of students and staff to the nearby fire station. At 10:03 a.m., parents received a text message advising them of news from the school system. At 10:06 a.m., that was followed by an automated call from the school system advising them of the situation.

“Parents please be aware that this morning, Ocean City Elementary School received a telephone call to the main office indicating that there was a bomb in the building,” the phone message said. “In accordance with our protocol, law enforcement was immediately notified and all students and staff have been safely evacuated from the building and are being transported to Ocean City Fire Hall, Station #5 on Keyser Point Road. We are working in partnership with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Ocean City Fire Department to evaluate the safety and security of the building while ensuring all our students and staff are safe. As additional information is available, we will be providing updates.”
