(Atlanta News First) — Three elementary schools were evacuated early Monday after they received threats, officials with Atlanta Public Schools (APS) said. Morningside, Springdale Park and E. Rivers were evacuated “out of an abundance of caution,” they said. “All students and staff remain safe while Atlanta Public Schools Police, in coordination with our public safety partners, investigate the threats and conduct thorough searches of each school building,” they added. Shortly before 1 p.m., all three lockdowns were lifted. All three schools were searched and the threats were found not to be credible. The district said all three schools have resumed like normal.
