School followed crisis management plan

USD 108 Washington County superintendent Michael Stegman said the school followed the procedures of its crisis management plan after being informed of the criminal threat.
He said most of the students were gone from the school when the incident happened, but there were still athletes and teachers at the school. He said the student who made the threat left right away and there were never any weapons at the school, but staff did handle the threat appropriately with a lockdown as a precautionary measure.
Stegman said the staff did an excellent job and the plan worked well. After going through this process, he said they will go back and review the crisis management plan to fill in any gaps and also try to put something in place to dispel rumors that spread very quickly.
A Schoolreach phone message went out to parents last night to make parents aware of the incident.
