Clarification of News Article Regarding Threat to St. Ignatius School District
I would like to clarify the recent news article in The Leader suggesting that the St. Ignatius School District was under some sort of threat before Thanksgiving break. On November 26th, I was notified by the FBI and the Lake County Sheriff’s Department that they were apprehending a suspect near the school. As a precaution, they requested a soft lockdown in case the suspect attempted to flee. We remained in a soft lockdown for approximately 30 minutes, after which we were told that we could return to normal procedures.
At no point did law enforcement indicate that our schools or students were part of any threat or safety concern. We were not given specific details about the situation or the ongoing investigation.
Following the publication of the article, I reached out to law enforcement for clarification. They confirmed that there was no indication that St. Ignatius Schools was under any direct threat, and there was no need to share further details about the case. The individual in question was detained, and while this person was not from our community, this individual had been staying in town at the time.
According to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, there was never a threat directed at our school district. If any threat ever arises, I can assure you that we will promptly notify everyone. The safety of our children is my top priority, and I remain committed to ensuring that students and staff are kept safe, which is our most important responsibility.

Middle school academic bowl season is upon us. We had our first mixer at Ronan Middle School on Wednesday. Great way to start out the season. #gobulldogs #bulldogacademia
Aaaaaaand yet another change for tomorrow's basketball schedule. Arlee had to cancel the girls jv game entirely now due to lack of participants, so now all remaining game times have been moved up one hour. Boys jv will start at 3:00. One other change I was not aware of until now: Special Olympics will only play an exhibition game (10:00 running clock) at the halftime of the boys varsity game, not during the girls halftime as well. Sorry for all the confusion...I HOPE there are no more changes.....
