At dismissal, the grade school received a call indicating that the caller had a gun and wanted to inflict harm. He indicated to staff that he was on campus, but not in the building. We placed the entire school on lockdown and secured students inside the building. The police and Mr. Ward searched the premises and indicated that the threat was not present. The police are investigating the call, and they will have a presence on campus tomorrow during the school day. We will resume school tomorrow.
