State Police are also at the school.
The school system will put out a call on dismissal and is currently working on a plan for parents.
To help congestion, parents are not encouraged to come to the school at this time.
The following voicemail was left with parents and guardians Monday afternoon.\
"Good afternoon parents and students at Brookville High, Brookville Middle and Tomahawk. Due to a bomb threat at Brookville High School, those students have been evacuated. Dismissal this afternoon will be as follows:
Students at Brookville Middle and Tomahawk will remain the same.
Students at Brookville High will be dismissed from Tomahawk and Brookville Middle.
We're asking parents of car riders to not arrive until 3:10 for any of the schools because we will close Bee Drive for the bus traffic.
Again, car rider parents for all three schools please do not arrive 3:10 so we can get the buses moving out of those schools.
Thank you for your cooperation."
