BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore County Police Department is investigating a threat made Thursday morning against Towson High School. 

The threat was sent via email to school staff, police said, much like a threat made last month

Police said that Investigators found the threats contained in the email to be unsubstantiated.

While county officers said they are working with federal agencies to find out who is responsible for making the threat, parents like Elizabeth Rotenberry still don't feel comfortable sending their kids to school.   

"Once we had transparency on what the actual threat being shared was, I said no my kids are not going to school.", said Rotenberry.

She also says she wants more open communication between school officials, law enforcement, and parents about the investigation.

"How do I know K9 units haven't been through there?", Roternberry asked.  "These are common sense areas that we can improve the safety of our students during these times when it's gone on for more than a week and a half.", she continued. 

Out of an abundance of caution, police will have an increased presence at Towson High School while they investigate the threat.  The Baltimore County Police ask county residents to stay vigilant in reporting any suspicious activity to authorities.
