News 9 has learned more about the threat that led Noble Public Schools to call off classes Wednesday district-wide. 

Noble school administrators told News 9 there was a "credible threat" found inside the high school Tuesday. 

Classes have been canceled for all five schools in the district.

"I think it's crazy, and I think whoever did it, if they find them, they should get punished," Noble High School parent Larissa Cox said. 

And this isn't the first time a threat has been at Noble High School this month. Last week, a note was found written on the wall in one of the schools hallways which read, "The bomb will go off today in east hall." 

Now, this threat. 

"All they told us is that it was a bomb threat made for tomorrow and that they didn't want to take any chances," Noble High School parent Amber Rollings said.

Tuesday's threat was a little more specific.

"Bomb threat made for October 14. It didn't say what time or anything," Rollings said. 

"It's like, is it an attention-getter, or what? I don't know, but it's crazy," Cox said. 

In a statement, Noble Public Schools superintendent Frank Solomon wrote:

"Noble Public Schools has received a threat at Noble High School for tomorrow, October 14, 2015. Accordingly, all Noble Public schools classes are cancelled for tomorrow, October 14, 2015. All evening activities scheduled for Tuesday evening, October 13 and Wednesday evening October 14 are also cancelled. Fall Break is October 15th and 16th. Classes will resume Monday October 19th. 

"During this break, district administration will be working with local and state law enforcement officials to investigate this incident and insure the safety and security of all of our students, staff and facilities." 

"It's just too much," Cox said. 

"It's like crying wolf, and then when it's something really serious the kids are not going to think it's something serious, they're just going to think it's a joke," Rollings said. 

Fall break is Thursday and Friday for Noble Public Schools, which is why there will be no school for the rest of the week.

Classes are scheduled to resume Monday.
