The letter’s discovery prompted an evacuation of the school, but a search that included explosives-detecting dogs found no bomb.
Smith was arrested the next day. Authorities have not said what may have prompted the alleged threat or how they connected it to Smith.
It was not immediately clear if Smith has an attorney. She does not have a listed home telephone number.
While declining to discuss Smith’s possible motives for the threat or the teacher’s tenure with the school, district Superintendent Kate Sievers told The Associated Press that Smith has been placed on paid administrative leave pending a possible special meeting of the school board to address the matter. The next regularly scheduled board meeting is scheduled for May 19.
