Dear Yancey County Schools Parents,
Notes were discovered this morning at East Yancey Middle School stating “I have a bomb.” We followed safety procedures and evacuated students as the building was searched. In the meantime, the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office has located two possible suspects. The investigation is ongoing, however, at this time we feel as if this incident is a hoax. We will be returning students to East Yancey Middle School and resuming the school day.
