Schools in the Oklahoma town of Ada were canceled Friday, district officials said.

All activities in the Ada Public Schools district were canceled as well.

The district posted to social media, saying the decision came "out of an abundance of caution."

In a note from Ada Superintendent Mike Anderson:

"At approximately 1:00 a.m. Friday, Jan. 13, Ada City School District officials were informed by local law enforcement personnel of a threatening message directed toward Ada Schools.
Even though the communication was not specific in nature, the manner in which the threat was communicated and the language that was used led school officials and law enforcement personnel to believe that the information we received should be deemed credible.
Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, I have decided to cancel school at all Ada school sites on Friday, Jan. 13, 2023.
In addition, all activities scheduled for today have been canceled as well.
Local law enforcement agencies and district personnel are in constant contact, and a full investigation is underway.
We will provide you with additional information as it becomes available."
