Students at several Coquitlam, B.C., schools were placed under “hold and secure” protocols Friday over what administrators described as a “called in threat.”
Centennial Secondary, Vanier Centre and Goal Oriented Alternative Learning were all impacted.
The Coquitlam School District told CBC News in an email at 11:30 a.m. PT that the hold and secure was a “precautionary measure.”
By 1 p.m., the district posted online that the emergency protocols had been lifted.
Friday is the third day in a row students and teachers in the Vancouver suburb have dealt with such disruptions.
Coquitlam RCMP said they are working with the school district to investigate the “alleged threats.”
More to come.
