Police: Written Threat Prompts Evacuation of Seaford Middle School

Police determine school safe early Wednesday afternoon and allow students back inside building after a threatening note was discovered in a bathroom.

Seaford Middle School students were evacuated from classrooms Wednesday morning as a precaution after a written threat was discovered in a bathroom, according to police officials. .

A spokeswoman for the Nassau County Police Department Public Information Office said the threatening note was found by an administrator at 9:35 a.m. School officials then notified police, who responded to investigate the building. 

Police said at 12:18 p.m., police determined the building to be safe and students returned back inside for classes. The nature of the written threat was not provided by police. 

Wednesday was the third time in the last 27 months that a Seaford School District building was investigated by police following written threats. On Sept. 21, 2011 and Oct. 19, 2010, Seaford High School was evacuated when bomb threats were discovered written on bathroom walls.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
