Imlay City Community Schools went into a modified secure mode on Friday morning after a threat was made against two high school students. Superintendent Dr. Stu Cameron informed families of the situation via social media at 10:40 a.m., noting that the threat came from a non-student and wasn’t directed at the entire school. Students were kept inside but allowed to continue their activities. Local police, notified by the school’s resource officer, quickly apprehended the suspect, and normal operations resumed within ten minutes. Police are expected to provide more details.
