Emporia High students had their possessions searched as they entered the building Tuesday morning.
The USD 253 Community Relations Department says the search was rooted in unspecified information received by Emporia High administrators and was a precaution to help “ensure the safety of our students and staff.” The search was conducted by school administrators and security personnel.
Further details about the incident are currently pending.
The Community Relations Department says the school day is continuing as scheduled. It also cautions parents to remind their students to be vigilant at all times and, if they see or hear something suspicious, to say something.
