Report Of Threat Toward Student Leads To “Soft Lockdown”

Secondary schools in the White Salmon Valley School District were placed in a “soft lockdown” for a time Thursday morning after law enforcement received a report of a threat of harm directed toward a Henkle Middle School student.  District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn said in a statement that the “soft lockdown” was put in place at 8 a.m. Thursday for Henkle, Columbia High School, and Wallace & Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School, and was lifted three hours later.  Polkinghorn says law enforcement made contact with the student and their family and determined that was safe to resume normal school operations and activities.  Polkinghorn noted during a “soft lock-down” instruction continues in the classroom and students can move about the building, but no person may enter or leave.
