Technically, the school employees thought it was a "hoax bomb", not a real bomb. It is still a criminal act to bring a hoax bomb to a school but they wouldn't have evacuated. Why they thought it was a hoax bomb is the big unknown:

It may well have been, and it is my opinion that it was, racist tendencies that made them think Ahmed was more likely to have brought in a fake bomb than he was to have brought in a clock. This is likely something that we will never know for certain via any kind of statement or facts.
