A call to Camdenton police indicated a bomb would go off at Camdenton High School at noon Tuesday.

The credibility of the call, which was received at about 11:35 a.m. could not be confirmed, so school officials and law enforcement decided to evacuate the building as a precautionary measure.

Authorities and a bomb dog went through the building and didn't find anything suspicious. The building was cleared and everyone was able to return.

The caller, who claimed to be a parent of a student, has not been identified -- no such parent or student was found in the system.
