Today, May 8, 2025, we experienced a malfunction of our duress system, leading to several lockdown alert initiations within a short period. These alerts were false alarms. Our Technology Services team worked with service providers to identify the bug and stabilize the system. At no time were any students or staff in peril. We are working with our partners to determine why this happened and take appropriate actions to make certain the system is functioning properly at all times. We know lockdown notifications can be unsettling for some of our students. However, as we discover any system integration problems, we are able to fix them and build a more robust security situation for our students and staff. Thanks, Ric Seager
