The Little Chute School Area District has put the intermediate, middle school and high school building on lockdown. There are few details being released concerning the reason for the lockdown. Parents were notified via email from the district, which states:
Good Afternoon LCASD Families,
Due to a suspicious phone call we received, our IM/MS/HS building is currently on a secure hold. We have a police presence to help assist with verifying the safety of our staff and students and are proceeding with abundant caution. The parking lot is currently blocked off and parents are not welcome on our school ground per law enforcement. At this time, to help keep the outside of the building clear we ask parents to utilize the side streets until the hold has been lifted. There will be a delay of dismissal.
Per law enforcement, the elementary will not be discussed at this time.
Thank you,
LCASD District Office
WHBY is monitoring the situation and will bring additional details as they become available.
