Briefs: School on for Monday in Schaumburg

Schaumburg police and Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54 officials have found no credibility to a vague threat scrawled in a girls bathroom stall at Addams Junior High School in Schaumburg that makes reference to Monday. A letter and e-mail to parents was sent by Addams Principal John Schmelzer Friday afternoon, explaining the situation. There are no plans to close school or cancel after-school activities Monday, though the situation continues to be closely monitored by Schaumburg police, Sgt. John Nebl said.
