Summer Learning Camp at Macon County Jr. High School was put on a short lockdown earlier today due to an individual fleeing from the Macon County Justice Center courthouse and headed toward the school. The individual was apprehended shortly after. Students were never in danger and those that were outside for their activity were quickly escorted back into the building. The school was given the all clear a short time later and the lockdown was lifted.

Bus routes for Summer Enrichment Camp will start tomorrow around 6:00 am. Please be patient with us for the first few days, as it will take our drivers some time to gauge how early they need to begin their routes based on the number of students needing bus transportation. Morning drop-offs at each school begin at 7:00 am, and afternoon buses and pick-ups will begin loading at 2:45 each afternoon.
