At approximately 12:30 p.m. today, during a planned drill for one of our schools, our alert system Centegix was accidentally triggered for all schools to be placed into a lockdown. This was in error, and the lockdowns were quickly cleared. As always, we are thankful for the immediate response of the Bristol Tennessee Police Department. We apologize for the disruption.

As we reported earlier, Tennessee High was placed in a Hold while we investigate a situation. As we continue to investigate, we will maintain a Hold for the duration of the school day. A Hold means that students remain in a secure location and continue with classroom instruction. Students may be allowed to move throughout the building in a closely supervised manner. Tennessee High will dismiss on a regular schedule. We will share additional information with parents this evening.
