Just before 1:00 PM this afternoon, an incident involving local law enforcement occurred in the vicinity of Central Office on Church Street. No threat was made or existed at any school system building, but all buildings were placed into a soft lockdown out of an abundance of caution at the request of the Elizabethton Police Department. At this time schools have resumed normal operation. As always, we want to thank our SROs and all of EPD for the work they do to keep our schools and community safe!
