Friday morning classes were canceled and Fenton High School was evacuated following threats made against an administrator and the school.
A Bensenville Police Department spokesman issued the following statement on Friday:
“This morning, Bensenville police were notified of a bomb threat at Fenton High School at which time the school was immediately evacuated. The DuPage County Bomb Squad, with the support of six bomb sniffing dogs, has cleared the building. Students will remain home for the day as their safety remains the highest priority.”
Around eight in the morning, Fenton High School announced on Facebook that classes had been canceled and that all students and staff had safely evacuated the building. All extracurricular classes have been canceled until further notice, and there won’t be any remote learning.
“We understand some students have personal possessions in the building. We will follow up with another communication later today letting you know how to retrieve those possessions,” the post read.
It took some time to determine the exact nature of the threats.
Due to claims that a teacher at Fenton High School engaged in sexual misconduct, the school has become a hotbed of controversy.
