The Bauxite School District sent out the following text message to parents today, Friday February 23rd:
Upon learning that a student had made threats against other students on social media, Bauxite Schools immediately went into a brief lockdown. The Saline County Sheriff’s Office has the student in custody, and they have determined there is no lockdown needed at this time. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority.
On the Facebook page for Bauxite Public Schools, staff further states:
Care was taken to make sure the lockdown was communicated with teachers in a way that students, especially our elementary students, would not be alarmed in any way.
This is all the info we have at this time.
