<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 6, 2013) The Newtown shootings and the Boston Marathon bombings have left all of America asking questions about security. But schools have been particularly on edge. Another bomb hoax caused an early dismissal at Norwood-Norfolk central schools on Tuesday, according to NorthCountryNow.com. It&apos;s the third in recent weeks at the school. A fake bomb threat forced the evacuation of Madrid-Waddington schools last week. In St. Lawrence County, there have been at least half a dozen bomb hoaxes at schools in the last month. They&apos;ve forced school leaders to walk a tightrope between safety and maintaining a normal school day.
