We’ve had 3 lockdowns in the last month. Students are calling in threats and now we have to take them seriously. We can’t prove the kids are full of it, at least not yet. It’s sad.

That’s just sad. However, before 9-11, and back in the 80’s, kids at my high school did that for a longer lunch break. Back then we were outside while bomb-sniffing dogs did their jobs.
Today, calling in such a thing is a much bigger deal making “a terroristic threat” is not a prank anymore and can have serious ramifications on their lives and our school environments.
Yikes!

Can you trace the calls? Surely, causing panic in a public school is against the law

Depends on where they call it into...911 has an auto trace but other police numbers do not. Online sometimes takes a lot of convoluted routes. Of course, in our state, it is called a terroristic threat and what used to be a misdemeanor prank is now a felony.

I’m thinking of buying a designer belt and have been eyeing this one from Dior. Is it a waste to spend $660+tax on a plain black belt w just the logo?

Any Operations Manager for a Amazon warehouse in New Jersey ? How much do you guys get paid monthly/yearly. Before & after taxes? The Company screwed me on my salary and told me not to negotiate the price with them. Out of ignorance I didn’t negotiate. But now I fear what I make isn’t enough to sustain me. I’m looking forward a Promotion to L5 then L6. For the L5 Area managers how much do you guys get paid yearly salary/ monthly after and before taxes not including bonuses.
