2 boys sentenced for school bomb threats

Two Warren County public-school students were ordered during sentencings today to write letters apologizing for making false alarms at their schools.

These are two of the most recent threats this school year at schools in Warren County.

Last year, about a dozen threats in the final weeks of the school year in the Springboro-, Lebanon- and Waynesville-area districts prompted a range of responses, including evacuations and the closing of Springboro High for one day.

Each is also required to continue reporting to a day-time program at the detention center in Lebanon until allowed to return to school, to undergo counseling and pay $65 in court costs.
