Bangor Daily News, October 2, 2007
(excerpts) Police and school officials searched backpacks and lunchboxes of Dexter Primary and Middle School pupils Monday in response to the second of two bomb threats discovered late last week in SAD 46 schools.
The first bomb threat was discovered by a janitor after school had closed on Thursday. The note scrawled on a Dexter Regional High School bathroom wall referred to a bomb going off the next day, according to SAD 46 Superintendent Kevin Jordan.

Just minutes before school ended on Friday, a Dexter Middle School pupil alerted a faculty member about a note left behind on a bathroom sink in that school. Jordan said it appeared to be a "copycat" note that also alluded to a bomb.
Jordan said the middle and primary schools, which are connected, were locked down and state and local police were again called. Jordan said nothing was found during the search.
"We caught it just before students were leaving," Jordan said. He said pupils were provided with a note to give their parents explaining the incident. The note also advised parents that the school and police would search students and bags at the doors on Monday.
