Bomb Threat

On Wednesday, September 19, 2007, there was a threat made to the Emerson School System. A letter addressed to Emerson Mayor Lou Lamatina, was received around 10:30 a.m., in a small envelope with what appeared to be a computer-printed address pasted on the front, authorities said. The note inside also appeared to be computer-generated, and was pasted on a blank piece of paper, saying this: "All three schools will be blown out on Thursday, Sept. 20th at 11:30 a.m., with two other schools in near by towns." This note was later sent to the Bergen County Sheriff's Office for forensic examination.^[18]

All three Emerson Schools were immediately evacuated (by a fire drill around 11:00), and students nor teachers were not allowed to collect any of their belonging including backpacks, cell phones, or purses until a time period between 8:00 and 9:30 that night.

Members of the Bergen County bomb squad were sent to Emerson on Wednesday morning, but after searching the district's schools, nothing was found. They also searched Oradell and Washington Township schools and searched Assumption Academy on Thursday morning, and will continue searching numerous other schools in the area.

13 districts closed their schools for Thursday, September 20, 2007, those towns including: Emerson, Westwood, Washington Township, Oradell, River Edge, Closter, River Vale, Demarest, Haworth, Harrington Park, Northvale, Norwood and Old Tappan. Some selected Catholic grammar and high schools were closed. The bomb threat affected 12-14,000 students, 1,200 of those from Emerson alone. These schools were closed for two days until they were deemed safe.^[19]
