Iroquois School District Community.......
The threats received by the Iroquois School District today have been determined to be non- credible. The Lawrence Park Police Department is currently investigating these threats, but due to the manner in which they were delivered we are confident that our schools are safe. Additionally, the power outage we experienced was an isolated incident that had nothing to do with any threat towards the school. We are very fortunate that we were able to get power restored to the High School this evening, and all normal school operations will resume on Tuesday morning.
As always, the safety of our students is our number one priority. We work very closely with the LPPD and other local authorities to protect our communities most important resource, our children
Iroquois Community,
Early this afternoon the Iroquois High School lost most of its electrical power due an mechanical issue, the Administration made the decision to continue with the school day, without dismissing early. The buildings heating system was partially working, and restrooms were available for use. At approximately 1:40 pm we received a phone call, threatening a school shooting at the high school. At that time, we went into lock down, and LPPD sent officers to the high school. We will remain in lockdown for the remainder of the day. Students will be dismissed as soon as close to normal dismissal time with additional police presence. The police are investigating these threats, more information will be made available once the investigation is completed.
