School officials contacted Henryetta Police on Tuesday over a threat made that was reported by a student. It's not clear what the threat was.
Henryetta Police Chief Steve Norman said in a statement late Tuesday night "Henryetta Public Schools and the Henryetta Police Department take any potential threat very serious. We have been in close communication with the school and even though classes Wednesday are canceled, we jointly agree to always err on the side of caution when it comes to school safety."
