        There was another bomb scare in the Freeport Union Free School District on Monday, police say.
        Police say Dodd Middle School was evacuated just before 7:30 a.m.
        The building was searched and students were allowed back in about 90 minutes later after nothing was found.
        It comes after the district's high school had a similar scare on Friday.
        The Freeport mayor confirmed that there was a threat of multiple bombs in the building, and possibly two shooters.
        Nassau police say there have now been at least 36 school threats in the county this month, far more then this time in 2023.
