Due
to overwhelming response to the inaccuracies of news reports this morning:
At
about 8:06 am, Chester High School “was alerted to police activity outside the
building around 9th and Barclay Streets. Following standard
operating procedure the school was secured (locked down) not allowing anyone in
or out while the police investigated the matter.”
Since
the incident was not school related, “At about 8:40 am, the Police Commissioner
gave the approval to lift the secured lockdown and the regular school day
continued.”
In
reference to the incident outside the school, all questions should be directed
to the Chester Police Department.
School
staff was debriefed by Chester High School Principal Constance McAlister. Letters to parents were also sent home.
