This is the second time in a week that police were called to Battle High School. Last week, someone called in a threat against Battle High School and school officials determined the call was a prank. Columbia Public Schools spokeswoman Michelle Baumstark said the two police officers stationed at Battle and school security officials quickly determined that the threat was not credible.
