The school’s lockdown was “self imposed” by administrators  after Bristol Township police spoke with building staff about a threat that was made, Lt. Terry Hughes said.

“The threat doesn’t appear to be credible,” Hughes told LevittownNow.com.

Parents said they were alerted of the incident via information distributed by the school late in the day.

Hughes said police were not called to the school for additional security.

School officials were not immediately available for comment as of press time.

The school serves students from all the Lower Bucks County school districts.
