Security is being beefed up with sheriff’s patrols at Queen Anne’s County High School.
WBOC reports that the school board said it had received a number of phone calls from parents last night about a rumor that a student was going to bring a weapon to school today.
Despite an investigation by the sheriff’s office authorities could not turn up any evidence for the alleged threat.
Nonetheless the sheriff’s office committed extra officers to the area out of a need for caution.
The school board said it along with the sheriff’s office would continue to monitor the situation at all of the county’s schools.
