LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Lubbock ISD says the lockdown at Monterey High School has been lifted after a reported threat prompted police to search the campus Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Lubbock ISD Police and the Lubbock Police Department responded to the school after a threat was reported involving an individual who may have had a weapon. <\/p>\n
LISD says the lockdown protocol was activated, and students and staff were secured inside the building, with no one allowed to enter or exit.<\/p>\n
Officials said the individual has since been located. <\/p>\n
LISD says, you may see an increased police presence on the campus as officials continue to coordinate a large amount of early student pickups, but at this time, there is no active or ongoing threat to the campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you are planning on picking up your student(s) early, we ask that you enter the campus through Door 1. <\/p>\n
LISD will have additional staff on campus to assist you in picking up your student.\u00a0<\/p>\n
LISD also wants to\u00a0encourage parents and guardians to check their contact information in their Parent Portal to make sure we have the most accurate and up-to-date contact\u00a0information. <\/p>\n
They can also check to make sure they have not accidentally opted out of alerts from the district.\u00a0<\/p>\n
LISD says many times, when families do not receive emergency alerts, it is because we have outdated or incomplete\u00a0information, or they have opted out of alerts. <\/p>\n
It is extremely important that they periodically check their information to ensure they receive\u00a0all messaging related to their children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
