Students were let back into a South Side Bronzeville neighborhood high school after a bomb threat prompted an evacuation Thursday morning.
A threat referring to a school near Pershing Road and Giles Avenue was called in shortly before 9 a.m., according to Chicago police.
Wendell Phillips Academy High School is located near that intersection at 244 E. Pershing Road.
Officers responded to assess the credibility of the threat and an evacuation of the school was ordered at 9:26 a.m., police said. Authorities searched the school but did not find any evidence of a threat.
The all-clear was given by about 10:30 a.m. and students were allowed back into the school, police said.
Some streets were closed and CTA buses were rerouted in the area while authorities investigated, but the reroutes ended by 11 a.m., according to the transit agency.
