USD 305 Releases Statement on Staff Member Taken Into Custody By Law Enforcement

The following is an email sent to parents of Lakewood Middle School parents on Monday, January 29:

We want to inform you that a staff member was taken into custody at Lakewood by the Salina Police Department this morning. Some Lakewood students witnessed this incident because at that time a fire alarm was triggered and the building was evacuated.

It was determined that there was no fire threat and administration was given the all clear. Students and staff returned to their classrooms. The school day is proceeding as normal.

The safety and well-being of our students remain our utmost priority. As always, we committed to providing a secure and conducive learning environment for all students and staff members.
