Threats made against 3 Skiatook schools

Safety protocols are in place at three schools in Skiatook after a threat made against the schools.

In a post on Facebook the district said a juvenile made a threat against the schools on September 5th. The district called police and law enforcement started investigating.

As a precaution police advised the district to place those schools on an Off Campus alert— meaning they notified parents and implemented a safety protocol at each site.

• Newman Middle School
• Skiatook Elementary School
• Skiatook Intermediate Elementary School

The district said this will continue until police advise otherwise.
We reached out to the district on what exactly an "Off Campus Alert" and Steve Mason, the communications director gave us this statement.

“Students are returned inside the building and instruction continues as normal; we double check the outside doors to make sure they’re locked,” Mason said.

The alert was lifted around 1:30 this afternoon. Skiatook police have not given any updates regarding the alleged threat.

2 News is working to get more information and we'll update as we learn more.
