Page County High School students were sent home as police searched the building for a bomb.

Officials said the threat was discovered shortly after classes began Thursday morning, and the school's 730 students were evacuated.

Police have found no explosive device at the school in Shenandoah, but a comprehensive search has been delayed until a bomb-sniffing dog can be obtained.

Thursday's threat was at least the fourth in the last eight months. A 16-year-old girl pleaded guilty to charges in an October 31 threat, and a 15-year-old girl pleaded guilty in a November 13 case.

i think these "pranks" are getting out of hand. its stupid and ridiculous. were getting down to sol time and were getting out of class to sit on the football field in the hot sun for 3 or 4 hours so dogs can check our school for bombs. luckily the school does take it serious because you really never know when it may not be a prank, but this to keep on and keep on, seriously get a life. its your stupidity to put yourself in that kind of risk to get in so much trouble and i dont understand why you would want to do that.
