Kent Roosevelt Cleared With Bomb Threat
A bomb threat on a bathroom wall forced the evacuation, lockdown and eventual class dismissal at Kent Roosevelt High School on Friday morning.
Administrators didn't find anything before students were sent home, but say they evacuated as a safety precaution.
The Beacon Journal reports that the incident at Kent Roosevelt came a day after a similar incident in Stow, where a band concert was cancelled at Kimpton Middle School after a threat was found on a wall there.
No explosives were found.

Man Sentenced For Stow-Munroe Falls HS Bomb Threat
A Cleveland man was sentenced to just under five years in prison for threatening to blow up Stow-Munroe Falls High School and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend.
Spirlin Edwards, 27, was found guilty of inducing panic, telecommunications harassment and aggravated menacing.
Prosecutors say Edwards became violent with his ex-girlfriend in January 2015, shoving her to the ground and slashing four of her car's tires at her work, and threatening to kill her and her family via text message.
Police say they traced a bomb threat made to Stow-Munroe Falls High School last May to his mother's home, where Edwards lived.
Edwards was sentenced to four years and 11 months in prison.
