A bomb threat received at the Donna Klein Jewish School in Boca Raton, Florida, led on Monday afternoon to an emergency evacuation of the school and additional buildings on the campus of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County. Forces from the Sheriff's Office were called to the scene and conducted searches. In the evening hours the check ended without finding suspicious objects, and the Jewish community center announced that all students and staff are safe and that the students were reunited with their families. The threat was received in a phone call to the school. The local CBS station reported a heavy police presence and traffic congestion in the area. The organization StopAntisemitism addressed the incident on X and called for the perpetrator to be brought to justice. The Donna Klein school teaches students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and combines general studies with Jewish and Hebrew studies. This is not the first bomb threat recorded at the institution; in January 2014 the school was placed on alert following a threatening email. The identity of the person who made the threat, the motive, or details about arrests have not yet been published.
