JCSD Lockdown Clarification: At 8:12 this morning high school administration received a report of a student who was possibly in possession of a dangerous weapon. The school was placed on lockdown while administration and police investigated. The student in question was never on campus this morning and the lockdown was lifted as soon as it was confirmed there was no threat. Lockdown procedures were followed as outlined in the JCSD Crisis Intervention Plan. Students’ safety is always JCSD’s top concern.
Power and phones have been restored to the school! Let's finish this day strong!
Power is out in Junction City and we only have one working phone line. Everyone is fine, if you need to reach the school you can call the admin office at 870-924-4565.
PLEASE READ: Junction City School District was placed on lockdown this morning for a few minutes out of caution only. There was never an actual threat.
Students who ride Coach Harrell’s bus, please expect a 15-20 minute delay this morning.
