Update: Cowansville's Massey-Vanier High School is no longer under lockdown
Update: The Commission scolaire du Val-des-Cerfs has updated this morning’s lockdown situation, saying the “isolation has just been lifted” at 11:20 am.
The rest of the day will take place according to “the usual schedule,” according to the school board and professional services will be available to all students and staff who need support.
Parents who choose to pick up their children are allowed to do so, without having to enter the school.
The school board, nor the SQ, provided any more details as to why the lockdown initially took place this morning.
Officials were on site this morning but inspections did not suggest a “direct threat to the safety of the people at the school.”
