Airport students dismissed early after threat made to school by email
Shortly before noon Thursday, February 2, Airport High School received an email threat. The school was placed on a hold, with students and teachers remaining in place in their rooms for instruction and activities. Families were notified.
During the hold, we worked to distribute lunches to classrooms. Additional law enforcement officers were on the Airport campus.
At about 1:30 p.m., with the disruption of the school day, Airport began a staggered dismissal of students. All after-school activities on campus have been cancelled.
Threats are unsettling to students, families, teachers, and administrators. Lexington Two does not tolerate any action that jeopardizes the safety of our schools, and we remain vigilant in investigating every threat, in concert with our law enforcement partners.
An investigation into the threat is continuing.
