HOLLADAY, Utah — Students at Olympus High School were evacuated after police said the school received a "non-credible threat" on Monday.

According to the Granite School District, the school was evacuated at around 11 a.m. While the Unified Police Department did not find the threat to be credible, the school made the call to evacuate as officials investigate.

Students were evacuated into the seminary building across the street, while others were sent to a nearby church. Officials said typically in these situations, students would stand outside the school, but the decision was made due to weather conditions.

The Granite School District says that law enforcement later cleared the building and determined it was safe to go back inside. However, school officials decided that it would take too much time to allow students back in and decided they could be released for the rest of the day.
