SIERRA VISTA, Arizona (Sierra Vista Herald) August 3, 2010 -- Buena High School in Sierra Vista, Arizona has received a bomb threat that warned staff about an incident that would take place August 3, on the first day of school.

Parents of Buena students were notified about the threat from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. August 2.

The school will not be closed August 3 and the district was working with the Sierra Vista Police Department and the Fort Huachuca Bomb Squad to ensure students are safe, the superintendent said.

In his experience, these types of threats have always turned out to just be threats, but that does not mean staff is not taking it seriously.
