A hold and secure at Kalamalka Secondary School was extended to Kidston and Coldstream elementary schools as well Friday, June 21, 2024.

Three area schools were placed in a hold and secure pattern Friday afternoon.

Kidston and Coldstream elementary schools have since been released while the local high school remained locked down a little longer

"Kalamalka Secondary is still on a hold and secure, out of an abundance of caution, while police investigate a report," confirmed Vernon School District Supt. Christine Perkins at 2:00 p.m.

Kal was released from the hold and secure by 2:30.

The hold and secure was implemented at 1:25 p.m.

"The procedure is used when there is cause for concern in the community," said Perkins in a letter to families.

"There was no direct threat to the safety and well-being of our students."
