Parents and Guardians,
USD 329 has been cleared by the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Department, and all campuses are no longer in lockout status.
We want to thank our students, staff, families, and law enforcement partners for their cooperation and support throughout this situation. The threat received earlier today was taken seriously, and we followed our safety procedures while law enforcement assessed and cleared the situation. We have also learned that USD 329 was among the multiple districts that received similar threats recently. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has been contacted, and we understand this matter remains under investigation. We are grateful for the quick response of local law enforcement and trust they will continue to follow through appropriately regarding this disruption to our schools and community.
Because of the interruption to the school day, we will not hold afternoon PreK today. All other school operations will continue as normally as possible for the remainder of the day. Again, all students and staff are safe. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and trust as we worked through this situation carefully and responsibly.

Parents and Guardians,
We remain in lockout status at this time while law enforcement continues its assessment of the phone threat received earlier today. Law enforcement is on site and present at all campuses. Again, all students and staff are safe. During a lockout, normal school operations continue inside the building, but exterior doors remain secured, and outdoor movement is limited until law enforcement gives clearance. We are continuing instruction and supervision inside our buildings while this process is completed.
We understand that situations like this create concern for families. Please know that we are taking the matter seriously, following our safety procedures, and working directly with law enforcement. We will send another update as soon as we are cleared or have additional information to share. Thank you for your patience and trust as we work through this carefully and safely.
