Police conducted thorough sweeps of the buildings, but the search could not be completed in time for the schools to open on time Thursday due to the size of the buildings.
The employee was found at their home.
“I want to very clear, there was no specific threat to the students, staff, or community of Ferndale,” Bazzi said. “We simply closed Ferndale Middle and High School today due to an abundance of caution.”
