Friday’s threat was deemed non-credible, according to the superintendent of Marlboro schools.
A New Jersey school district that canceled classes a day ago out of an abundance of caution after getting an emailed bomb threat received another one Friday, authorities said.
Marlboro Township Schools opted to delay school openings by two hours as authorities investigated. Details on the nature of the threat weren't clear, though the superintendent said it was similar to the threat made on Thursday. The delayed opening was the initial plan for the district, which enrolls nearly 5,000 students in pre-K-8th grade, that day but administrators chose to close to allow a thorough investigation.
The threat was deemed "low credibility," officials said. Friday's threat was deemed non-credible, according to the superintendent of Marlboro schools. A sweep of the buildings turned up nothing.
"Although we are dealing with another non-credible threat, the district takes any instance of this nature seriously and will continue to work closely with law enforcement to provide safety and security for the entire school community at all times," a statement from the superintendent said. "All schools will have been checked and cleared by law enforcement prior to student arrival."

Board of Education buildings were also targeted in Thursday's threat. Nearby Town Hall municipal offices were closed as a precaution. They later reopened.
The threats came less than two days after a heated school board meeting in which a parent accused an educator of inappropriate contact with students.
The investigation is ongoing, Marlboro officials say.

The Trenton Board of Education reported a similar bomb threat investigation Thursday. Its buildings were also evacuated as a precaution; people were allowed to return once a bomb-sniffing dog signaled the all-clear.
Asked about the dual threats Thursday, the New Jersey Department of Education said it could not comment on active investigations and referred to local law enforcement agencies.
