From Potsdam School Superintendent Patrick Brady: 

"This morning at approximately 7:25 am, Potsdam High School received a bomb threat.  The Potsdam PD were immediately contacted and the state police were called to bring in bomb sniffing dogs.  The students and staff were taken to a safe place within the building and at approximately 9:40 am the school was cleared and the students were returned to classes.  The police are investigating the matter and hopefully will be able to find the person(s) who perpetrated this hoax.  I want to thank the law enforcement officers for their quick response a well as the administration and staff who successfully implemented our emergency plan."
