Update: Cumberland High students back in class

CUMBERLAND – Cumberland High School students were back in the classroom by 10:20 this morning, about two hours after the school was evacuated because suspicious graffiti was found in a boys’ bathroom in the main building.

People had been moved over to the Wellness Center on the school's campus.

Superintendent Donna A. Morelle said the district would release more information around 11:30 a.m.

The Rhode Island Bomb Squad was at the school shortly before 10 a.m. to investigate, according to a statement issued by the school department.

The action follows a lockdown at Exeter-West Greenwich High School yesterday after a death threat was found on a bathroom wall there.

More to come ...
