Middletown school officials are looking for federal help to stop a rash of so-called 'swatting' calls to the school district.
The school board is now calling on the Federal Communications Commission to waive privacy rules when it comes to tracing calls.
The move comes just hours after the Middletown schools were hit with another anonymous telephone threat.
The district has received 12 such calls since June of last year.
