"No island was named, and no category of school was identified," the V.I.P.D. said.
According to police spokesman Toby Derima, leaders from the V.I.P.D. and the V.I. Department of Education met Thursday morning to review security measures at all schools in the territory.
"The departments are reporting that there is no known imminent threat to any school in the territory," Mr. Derima said. The meeting was held as a precautionary measure.
