HOLLAND, Mich. — Careerline Tech Center (CTC) underwent their “shelter in place” (SIP) protocol Monday morning.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says they did not order the school to go into SIP mode and are currently looking into what prompted it.
We’re told no threats were reported and no weapons were found.
CTC released a letter to families saying the school was locked down out of an abundance of cautions after an alarm was set off. Everyone is safe. Meanwhile, afternoon classes have been canceled.
School officials say the lockdown was lifted at around 11:15 a.m. Counseling is available for students who need it.
Families are encouraged to speak with teens to help them process what took place at the school Monday.
“I understand the weight and responsibility of entrusting us with your child student’s safety and well-being,” writes Director Kris Doenges. “Please be assured that we take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness. We will always prioritize the safety of our students and ensure that all necessary measures are in place to protect them.”
