NEW MILFORD — Police are investigating a bomb threat received today by New Milford High School, a school district official said Wednesday afternoon.
As a precaution, students were evacuated to the football field and bleachers while they waited for buses for early dismissal, the district announced in a message to parents.

All other New Milford Public Schools will dismiss students at the regular time, Silverman said.
It was not immediately known how and what time the threat was received.
