Report: Teacher has wife phone in bomb threat to get him out of staff meeting

A New York City charter school teacher could face disciplinary action this week after he jokingly texted his wife to call in a bomb threat during a boring staff meeting, and she followed through.

The employee at Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation in East Harlem, identified only as Eric, reportedly texted his wife to “call in a bomb threat during” the school’s dull morning staff meeting last week, and followed up with a test “haha,” but his wife didn’t see the second message until after she called police, the New York Post reports.

“She called the cops, reporting a bomb threat at the school, which shares a building with three other charter schools at 410 E. 100th St., police sources said,” according to the news site.

The woman immediately called back when she realized the mix-up, but eight uniformed officers went to check out the report, anyway.

Of Asian. Or a redhead. Or Welsh. Or French. Maybe she's a robot? That would be better.
