Parents got a letter about the threat Thursday. The school says it is on heightened security, and kids won't be able to leave campus during school hours until further notice. The FBI and Illinois State Police are also investigating the threat. Some people have been interviewed.. Officers are also offering a reward to find the person who made the threat.
