Liberty High School issued a hold in place earlier today, June 12, for a little over 20 minutes.

A student was asked to leave the building following a violation of the Code of Conduct but refused. After the student made threatening statements toward the school resource officer and threatening additional disruptive behavior, Liberty Police Department was called, on request of the school resource officer. Shortly after arrival, LPD officers removed the student from the building. 

At no time during the hold in place were any students or staff in immediate danger.

The student will face consequences in accordance with the Liberty CSD Code of Conduct, and any further determination by law enforcement officials.

“Safety of our students and staff is our top priority,” Dr. Patrick Sullivan said. “We thank LPD for their quick response.”
