Two students were charged after a "possible bomb threat" forced an evacuation of a high school Thursday in the northern suburbs, officials say.
Both students from Wauconda High School are juveniles, police say. One was charged with disorderly conduct and released to their parent, police said. The other was charged with felony disorderly conduct and was to be transported to the Lake County Juvenile Detention Center.
Students and staff from the school were relocated about 2:30 p.m. to 25207 Route 60 in neighboring Grayslake, according to the school district. The move was a “precautionary” measure due to a possible bomb threat, according to school officials.
District transportation services were used to transport students and staff, officials said.
