The Kimberly Area School District says that a soft lockdown did take place around 2:20 p.m., according to a media release from Marketing and Community Coordinator Jill Peeters.
Peeters shares that the district was informed of ‘activity at a business’ near the 4K Center for Literacy, Westside Elementary, Mapleview Intermediate and J.R. Gerritts Schools. Out of precaution the district went into a soft lockdown.
“During this 30-minute period, students remained in the classroom continuing with instruction. After authorities indicated that the situation was under control, classes resumed their normal routines with no further disruption. Students do not know the details of the situation in the vicinity of their school, they only know that they remained in their classrooms for that period of time,” reads a statement from Kimberly Schools.
No other details are confirmed at this time.
