Deputies responded to the campus around 12:30 p.m., triggering the school’s active threat plan. By 2:45 p.m., officials stated the incident appeared to be a false alarm, with no immediate threats to students or staff. A controlled dismissal was underway as a precaution, and law enforcement remained on-site to ensure safety. The investigation into the incident continues.
