The Los Angeles Unified School District closed all schools Tuesday due to a “credible terror threat” that officials told KTLA they recieved. A bomb threat was called in to a district board member, police told the Los Angeles Times.

An initial investigation suggested the threat was a "hoax" or a deliberate attempt to disrupt school activity during finals.
