Update to original story: 12:15 p.m. February 6, 2026: Founders received a threat shortly after 8 a.m., then school officials called 911, said Lewisville police Assistant Director of Administrative Services Elizabeth Mayes to The Dallas Express.
“Students were evacuated to a nearby church,” Mayes said.
Lewisville police and fire led a safety check of the campus for “suspicious devices or hazards,” but did not find any, according to Mayes. They issued the all-clear just after 9 a.m.
“We are aware that other schools have received similar threats,” Mayes added.
Lewisville police could not confirm how many schools across Texas received threats, when they came in, or how they were sent, according to Mayes. She said the department would investigate the threats with its own resources, coordinate with other jurisdictions that received similar threats, and work with federal law enforcement.
“Because the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to comment further on investigative details or status,” Mayes said. “It is also too early to determine whether this incident is related to other referenced cases.”
She noted that students have returned to class, but Lewisville police will remain on campus for safety.
Outside Austin, Founders Classical Academy of Leander also evacuated due to a bomb threat on February 6, according to KXAN. Police inspected the campus, but did not find any explosives.
