Earlier today, the District placed the high school in lockdown for a short period of time. This

was done to address a situation where a student was creating a disturbance in school and

damaging District property. The District immediately contacted law enforcement and

worked with law enforcement to appropriately address the student’s conduct and

remove the student from school. Once the student was removed from school the

lockdown ended. No students or staff members were injured as a result of the student’s

actions. The District is continuing to work with law enforcement regarding this situation.

The Washington Police Department and Washington CSD have no further comments at

this time.
