Kelowna Secondary School underwent a temporary hold-and-secure measure on Tuesday.
According to Central Okanagan Public Schools, the safety measure was enacted following reports of a potential fight circulated throughout the school.
“Staff responded quickly to information that several students from other schools would attend the school property to observe a fight during the noon hour,” Central Okanagan Public Schools said in a press release.
“RCMP community youth safety officers and other members attended the scene, and as a result a fight did not occur. RCMP and staff continue to investigate the source of the occurrence.”
Central Okanagan Public Schools said the safety measure brought students back into KSS, “10 minutes before the end of the lunch period, where they remained in classrooms until all non-KSS students dispersed and the regular class schedule resumed.”
Police told Global News that officers were on scene and that the incident is being looked into.
