OZARK (KFSM) – Students and staff were evacuated Thursday afternoon from Ozark schools because of a bomb threat note written by a 9-year-old kid,  according to deputies.

No criminal charges will be filed against the child due to age, and Franklin County deputies have handed the case over to juvenile authorities.

This was the first bomb threat Ozark schools had ever received, authorities said.

The Ozark School District’s primary and upper elementary schools were evacuated while Ozark police and firefighters conducted a search of the buildings, according to the school district. The students were placed in Hillbilly Stadium, and school officials allowed parents to pick up their children if they wanted to.
