Schools in Algona are closed today (Wednesday) after a threat was made against the district late last night. Local law enforcement notified school officials around 10:15 PM Tuesday about a threat that had been made against the Algona District. Since the credibility of the threat could not be determined prior to the start of classes today, law enforcement and school officials decided to cancel classes for the Algona district. Police and school officials are continuing to work to determine the credibility of the threat which comes a day after classes were canceled in Johnston after a threat was made late Monday night.
