Liberty, LeVasseur, and BUGC are back to normal operations. Law enforcement has resolved the issue in the area. Schools were not at risk, simply putting student safety first at all times.
There is no direct threat to BESD#53 schools, the building restrictions are a precaution due to a law enforcement investigation in the area.
