Tuesday, March 1, 2022 - Earlier this morning, a hard lockdown was called at BJSHS. The lockdown was in response to the report of an alleged weapon on campus. Per corporation and building safety protocols, the hard lockdown was communicated to students and staff and the appropriate personnel were immediately contacted, including law enforcement. Building and corporation level administration, in collaboration with local law enforcement officers, investigated the alleged threat and a search was executed - NO WEAPONS WERE FOUND. Once law enforcement determined the building to be secure, the lockdown ended. We have returned to normal operations at this time. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
