On Tuesday, Claremore Public Schools will be closed due to a bomb threat made to Baker Hughes, a drilling company located across the street from Will Rogers Junior High, Claremore High School, and Roosa Elementary. The Claremore Police Department is currently investigating the threat.
Baker Hughes received the bomb threat at their facility and immediately notified law enforcement. Employees were sent home as a precaution, and authorities are working to resolve the situation quickly. The safety of employees and the community is their top priority.
As a result of the threat, Claremore Public Schools have decided to cancel classes at all sites for May 7. While the threat was not related to the school, they made this decision out of an abundance of caution. School buses will still run to pick up children at their stops, and they will be taken to the Claremore Enrollment Center for pickup by parents with identification.
In a statement to Zebra families, school leaders emphasized that safety is their greatest priority. They also thanked the support and guidance of local law enforcement in protecting students and staff during this difficult situation.
