School threats: your opinion?

Los Angeles schools, New York respond differently to threat - CNN.com

So we have two cities, New York and LA, on opposite sides of America, both getting apparently the very same email threatening attacks against their students. One (LA) takes the threat seriously and shuts down its schools. The other (NY) believes the email to be a hoax and keeps its schools open.

Which do you think acted correctly, or is there any way to decide that?
I personally have never yet heard of an attack by ISIS or their agents which was warned of in advance, though I admit I'm not that au fait with their actions, so I would think it is a hoax. But put in that situation, I guess you would have to put the kids and staff safety first. I'm not sure how I'd react.

What do you guys think?
