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.
