Clay Community School Corporation dealt with two separate bomb threats Monday and another incident in the north parking lot of Northview High School before the start of school Tuesday.

"We thank our local law enforcement agencies for their speedy response," said Superintendent Jeff Fritz, confirming parents were notified through the corporation's notification system. "Northview High School followed its safety protocols, and at no time were any students or staff members in danger."

According to the notification provided to parents, an unidentified female was in the parking lot around 8:20 a.m., asking students to use their cell phones. Clay County Sheriff's Department and Brazil City Police officers responded to this incident and took the female into custody within a matter of minutes.

Officials confirmed the female needed medical treatment, and further details are not available due to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.
