So why exactly were students released early today? Lapeer County Schools issued the following statement via Facebook,

Out of an abundance of caution, LHS will be in secure mode pending an investigation which includes a locker sweep.  There is no active threat to the school, nor any student or staff member.

 

We will remain in secure mode until the completion of the investigation which has been undertaken by the administration in cooperation with local law enforcement.
