Staff and Families,
This morning at approximately 8:00am, law enforcement received a report of a threat of harm directed toward a student at Henkle Middle School. Out of an abundance of caution our school district quickly implemented our safety procedures and secured students and staff safely inside buildings while suspending access to facilities. This “soft lock-down” is in place at Columbia High School, Henkle Middle School and Wallace and Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School.
Law enforcement arrived within minutes and are working with school administration to determine the credibility of the threat.
We will share more information with families and staff as it becomes available; not later than 9:30am.
Thank you for your understanding.
