Clovis Unified students had just returned on Monday for the new school year.

Officials say the Fresno Police Department got a suspicious call, prompting the shelter-in-place for both schools.

Police believed it was a hoax call but searched the campuses as a precaution.

The order was lifted after officers found no credible threat at the schools.

There will be a police presence at both schools for the rest of the day.
