Fairfax County Police say they completed their search of the school around 9:15 a.m. and did not find a credible threat.
The school closed because Fairfax County police had not finished sweeping the school and need more time to investigate. Fairfax County Spokesman John Torre says police and K-9 units searched inside the school.
Torre says someone made the threat in an email.
Police were called early Monday morning and parents were alerted by 6 a.m., Torre says.
It’s not clear who made the threat.
