The Olivia Police Department has informed the District of an ongoing situation in the vicinity of the 600 block of East Maple in Olivia. An individual has barricaded themselves in a house and may be armed. If you are within a four-block radius of the 600 block of East Maple, you are advised to shelter in place immediately. Please remain indoors until further notice. There is currently no concern for the school campus. However, due to the situation, students who ride bus routes 5 and 6 and are dropped off in Olivia north of Highway 212 will be kept at school. Parents of these students should arrange for an alternate pickup at the school. Please do not attempt to pick them up at their regular bus stop. Please stay tuned to the Olivia Police Department Facebook page for further information. This only impacts students who are on routes 5 and 6 AND are dropped off north of 212 in Olivia. The other students on those routes will ride as normal. Thank you for your cooperation.
