Ada Schools enact precautionary lock-down today
Ada Schools enact a precautionary lock-down today, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent. The school's announcement follows:
Ada Schools became aware of a police incident that may have resulted in a suspect having been in the Ada area.
As a precaution, school officials in consultation with law enforcement decided to enact an “external threat lock-down.”
Recesses were moved to indoors and any class changes that occurred between buildings were supervised by the district’s School Resource Officer.
Teachers were able to continue teaching and school routines were virtually uninterrupted. Alerts were sent to parents via Ohio Alerts to let them know the precautions the school had taken.
“Anytime there is the slightest possibility that an area incident could involve our school, we err on the side of caution. Safety of students, staff, and visitors is of utmost importance,” said Superintendent Meri Skilliter.
The district planned to have additional police presence at dismissal, in the event the suspect was not apprehended by the end of the school day.
