ROLAND, Okla. — Roland Public Schools (RPS) warned parents on Tuesday, Oct. 22, to not drop off their children at school due to a bomb threat.

This is the second bomb threat in the school district this month. RPS said police are working to clear the buildings, but until then, students should not be dropped off at school. 

RPS said parents who have already dropped off their children can pick them up in front of the Ranger Dome. Students who rode the bus are at the Roland Police Department and can be picked up there. 

Officials are also working to determine the threat level to ensure the safety of all students and faculty.
