This morning the district went on lockdown for approximately an hour at the direction of law enforcement. There was no threat made toward the school district. The safety of our students and staff was never at risk. This was done as a precautionary measure only. Once given the "all clear" by the Dexter Police Department, school resumed as normal. Thank you to the Dexter Police Department, the Stoddard County Sheriff's Office, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol for their quick and thorough response to the school. We appreciate their assistance and service. Thank you for your patience as we work to release information that is accurate.
