Attention Clippers:
Today the high school and middle school conducted practice level 1 lockdown drills to coordinate with the Columbiana Police Department on an external concern to keep students indoors this morning. However, there were no substantiated threats made to the schools. The Columbiana P.D., out of an abundances of caution, asked for our cooperation. We are generally locked down during the day, but conduct level one lockdowns to keep students indoors when asked to do so by our local police department. We will continue to follow established protocols and work with our local police/fire departments to keep ahead of safety. Thank you and have a great day!
