The lock out at Madison and Reagan Schools has ended. Law enforcement have notified us that the external concern has been addressed. There may be a slight delay in bussing today. The 2:45 p.m. volleyball game at RMS is still on. Thank you for your patience as we worked through our process ensuring students and staff are safe.

Out of an abundance of caution, the school has been placed on a temporary lock out while we investigate these threats. The subject who sent the threatening message is not a student at Reagan Middle School. We will provide updates as soon as possible
