As we reported earlier, Tennessee High was placed in a Hold while we investigate a situation. As we continue to investigate, we will maintain a Hold for the duration of the school day. A Hold means that students remain in a secure location and continue with classroom instruction. Students may be allowed to move throughout the building in a closely supervised manner. Tennessee High will dismiss on a regular schedule. We will share additional information with parents this evening.
