Lisa Tuttle-Huff, superintendent of Madison Schools, said “the extra police presence was only for a short time this morning regarding an outside issue.”
School officials have not revealed the nature of that “issue.”
Tuttle-Huff did say “the school was only on a lockout for a short time to make sure that we had all the information we needed before allowing outside visitors into the building.”
“The students were never in any danger and school functioned on a normal schedule,” she said.
