An 11-year-old girl has been found to be the responsible party for a bomb threat that sent Panther Valley Intermediate School students home early last Thursday.

Summit Hill Police Chief Joseph Fittos said Monday afternoon that the investigation revealed that the youth, whose name has not been released because of her age, was the person who scribbled a threat in the girls bathroom at approximately 8:30 a.m.State and local police, as well as the Carbon County Emergency Management Agency were dispatched to the school, and five bomb sniffing dogs being trained in Hershey responded to complete a sweep of the school.The girl responsible faces felony terroristic threats, as well as filing false reports and institutional vandalism, both misdemeanors.Fittos said that the girl will also be responsible for the cost incurred for the state police response, local police response and EMA.Monday kicked off a new week, but it was the same old problem at Lehighton Area High School.For the sixth consecutive weekday, a school in Carbon County was evacuated due to a bomb threat.Lehighton Borough Police were called to the high school Monday morning as students and staff were evacuated to Lehighton Middle School.Officer Matt Arner said a search of the school, which was done with the assistance of two K-9 dogs handled by state police, revealed no bomb in the building.The all clear was given around 1:20 p.m.Arner said there were no injuries."We always do a first round of investigating as the administrative team," Lehighton Superintendent Jonathan Cleaver said. "We turn all that information over to police. We are very fortunate to have such a great police force here in the borough."Though the threat turned out to be another false alarm, it is no laughing matter."I'm hopeful everyone realizes the severity of this," Cleaver said. "It causes disruption to classes and creates a nerve-wracking time for parents."On Dec. 15, a threat was made at Lehighton Middle School and as was also the case at Jim Thorpe High School, Panther Valley High School, Panther Valley Intermediate School and the Penn-Kidder Campus in Jim Thorpe last week, it was deemed to be false.Arner said Monday that a suspect had been identified in the middle school threat and that more regarding the investigation should be announced in the next few days.A 13-year-old male admitted to making the false threat at the Penn-Kidder Campus on Friday.Cleaver is hopeful a resolution will soon come to the Lehighton High School case as well."It's a school," he said. "Kids talk and they're already talking. "We feel confident we can get to the bottom of it."
