BAY CITY, Texas -- A hand-written death threat letter to a South Texas school district prompted the parents of hundreds of students to keep their children home.
A message Wednesday on the Bay City Independent School District website says classes continue with increased emphasis on safety and security.
The FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety are investigating.
Parents on Monday were advised by Superintendent Keith Brown of the anonymous letter received Dec. 28. The letter to Brown contains profanity, misspellings and refers to the sender’s child getting in trouble. The sender included new "rules" on discipline and threatened to "kill a random student" if the demands were not met.
About half the students in the nearly 3,800-student district missed school Tuesday.
Bay City is about 70 miles southwest of Houston.
