Bomb threat called on Boca Raton Jewish preschool, law enforcement evacuates area
The Betty and Marvin Zale Early Childhood Learning Center, where the threat was called in, was evacuated, as was at least one other nearby educational facility.
A bomb threat was reported at the Betty and Marvin Zale Early Childhood Learning Center, a Jewish preschool in Boca Raton, Florida, on Monday, leading local law enforcement to evacuate the area, according to US media outlets. The incident also prompted the evacuation of at least one other nearby educational facility. A student from the nearby Katz Yeshiva High School described hearing an announcement on the loudspeaker about the bomb threat while they were in their classroom.
Traffic was impeded as authorities prevented vans and cars from entering the area for carpool. Those inside the facilities were instructed to remain inside until further notice, and updates would be provided when it was safe to exit. The StopAntisemitism nonprofit expressed shock and outrage over the incident, emphasizing that no child should have to endure such terror at school.
The organization called for full prosecution of those responsible, urging that they face the harshest legal consequences.
