Kewaunee School District dismisses early due to threat

Students at Kewaunee School District are being sent home early after an outside threat sent the buildings into a lockdown for well over an hour Thursday morning.

 

Bus riders got to leave first beginning at 12:45 p.m. on their normal routes. That is when high school students that drive to school were also released, although they were not allowed to drive home siblings that are not in high school. Beginning at 1:15 p.m., students not riding the bus will only be released to family members or emergency contacts showing the appropriate identification. Using Center Street as a security checkpoint, officers will remain in the area as they surround the campus and buildings.

 

Kewaunee School District officials posted just after 11:15 a.m. on Thursday that it would be locking down its building after an outside threat mentioned a gun.  Students and staff remained inside the building during the lockdown as no one was allowed to enter or leave. We will have more details on this incident as soon as they are available.

 

Luxemburg-Casco and Algoma School Districts also entered a soft lockdown after being notified by the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department. It allowed their schools to still operate while also limiting access to the buildings.

 

There will be a press conference at 2 p.m. at the Bank of Luxemburg building in Kewaunee.
