UPDATE APRIL 30: The teacher accused of leaving a threatening voicemail at a Catholic school in Las Vegas is out of work.
Todd Pomeroy's latest job was at Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas and parents have been notified he's no longer there.
A parent told 13 Action News he was a PE instructor and track coach at the school.
Coral Academy sent emails to parents explaining Pomeroy’s verbal threat was made to its campus but the focus was directed at a different school.
The Clark County District Attorney's office said Pomeroy had no previous criminal convictions in the Las Vegas court system.

Las Vegas Metropolitan police arrest records also showed Pomeroy had a history stretching back 26 years.
In 1993, he was arrested for battery and domestic violence but was not convicted.
A justice court search showed Pomeroy faced a misdemeanor charge in 2005 for making threatening phone calls - a year later that charge was dropped.
In 2017, the 56-year-old was charged with misdemeanor battery.
A year later, it was also was dropped after he completed community service and received counseling.
Tuesday, an inmate in-custody report showed Pomeroy was being held at the Clark County Detention Center.
Monday, he allegedly made a threat to St. Viator Catholic School and classes were canceled that day.
Now, Pomeroy faces three criminal counts related to this latest threat.
