A teen has been arrested and is facing charges after threats were allegedly made towards Sturgeon Composite High School, prompting school officials to put the building on lockdown Friday morning, the RCMP said.

Students at Sturgeon Composite High School north of Edmonton now have more washroom options after some students came forward earlier this month with questions around how many gender-neutral facilities were located in the school.

Students at Sturgeon Composite say the bathroom situation at their high school needs to change, and better reflect the needs of the majority after many of their facilities were made gender neutral.
