Chichester did the right thing

Yesterday we detailed the threat made against the Chichester School District and how the school reacted - evacuating students and eventually closing school for the day.

Schools were open as usual on Wednesday, but you have to wonder if things were what you would call "normal."

These are not easy days to be school administrators. Or law enforcement officials.

One thing we know: The days of phoning in a bomb scare or other threat against a school are over.

Not in the wake of those horrific images from Columbine and Sandy Hook.

Officials in Chichester did the right thing, reacting quickly and taking precise actions to keep the students and staff safe.

We talk about it on our editorial page today.
