All Clarkston schools were put in shelter-in-place mode Wednesday according to a message sent to parents.

The order was lifted at 11 a.m., according to a second district message. Both messages were signed by Superintendent Shawn Ryan.

At noon, his all-clear message was released to the media.

“I am happy to report that the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office has given us the “all-clear.” With that said, we have lifted the shelter-in-place order. All of our schools have resumed classes and operations as usual,” Ryan wrote.

He went on to explain that he’d received a call from an Oakland County Sheriff’s lieutenant, whom he did not name, telling him deputies had been called to assist federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers “searching for two individuals in the area of Sashabaw and Clarkston Roads and advised that we secure our buildings,” Ryan said. “As we would with any police activity near our schools, we put our buildings into shelter-in-place as a precautionary measure. This is done to keep our students and staff safe inside our schools … We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.”

The original message said district officials were alerted that ICE officers were “in pursuit of multiple individuals” in Clarkston.

“However, out of an abundance of caution, we are moving ALL BUILDINGS to a shelter-in-place at this time,” the first message said.

That meant classes continued as usual with indoor recess and limited access to buildings according to the first message.

The superintendent’s message to parents was not shared on social media or the public portion of the district’s website.

District spokeswoman Kelly Allen said the district can directly message families via phone calls, text messages and email so there’s no need to make social media posts about emergencies.

“Social media is something we use for all the great things that are happening in our district,” she said. “If we didn’t have a direct way to contact our families, we would use social media.”

Shortly after the shelter-in-place was lifted a rumor about a student being detained by ICE went viral.

Allen said no students “were involved in any way, shape or form. They never even came into our buildings. They were in the woods behind one of our buildings. That’s why we took those precautionary measures.”
