There will not be a high school girl's game tonight.
This is Eric Allen, Superintendent at Alton. Based on reports of an individual with a gun near, but not on campus, we followed our protocol and went in to lockdown. Law enforcement was contacted and responded very quickly. After an extensive search of the area no individual fitting the description was located. Law enforcement has given the all clear, but we have moved all students from out buildings to either the main elementary or high school building and they will remain there throughout the end of the day.
Law enforcement will remain on campus through bus departure time at 3:30. Normal after school practices and events will go forward as planned.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as our faculty and law enforcement officers followed our practiced protocols and procedures in this matter.
