INMAN, Kan. — Inman Junior/Senior high principal Tyler Schroeder sent a letter to parents Wednesday morning following a period where students were instructed to stay in their classrooms.
According to the letter, the McPherson County Sheriff's Office was on campus Wednesday morning conducting a security sweep, including using canines.
While the Sheriff's Office was on campus, students and staff were instructed to stay in the rooms they were already in to minimize interactions with the canines. The soft lockdown was from 8:20 a.m. and ended around 9:00 a.m.
"I want to apologize that our messaging and notice fell short of meeting expectation and led to stakeholders feeling concerned about the safety and security of the building," Schroeder said. "I assure you that all students and staff are safe. The lessons learned from this drill will be taken into account and will be used to improve our planning moving forward."
