According to a Lee County School Board spokesperson, hand-written notes mentioning a bomb were found in a bathrooms at both Lehigh Senior High in Lehigh Acres and Riverdale High in Fort Myers Wednesday morning.  As a precaution, all students were evacuated to the football stadium.

Police searched both schools per protocol, and have cleared each one.
