STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's not just Susan Wagner this time.



In the apparent continuation of a disturbing trend, a wave of threats made to four high schools on Staten Island have sparked a series of evacuations Tuesday morning.



For the third time in a week and second time in as many days, Susan Wagner was evacuated at about 10 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Curtis High School was also evacuated at the roughly the same time, with students there being led to the football field.

A police spokeswoman confirmed both schools were evacuated after bomb threats were received Tuesday.

Concord High School and McKee High School also were evacuated, police said.

Students at all four schools were back in school by noon.

Further information about the nature of those threats and who received them was not immediately available.

Councilman Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island), who arrived at Susan Wagner Tuesday to survey the sitution, vowed officials would be looking into the matter.

"We're taking this very seriously" he said outside of Wagner high school. "This is the third time it's happened in the last four school days.

Further information will be posted as it becomes available.
