The situation from this morning has been taken care of as the suspect has been taken into custody. Normal procedures have been reinstated at the school.
Crane R-III Parents and Guardians,
We want to make you aware of an active situation in the area involving a suspect who is considered armed and dangerous and is currently still at large. Out of an abundance of caution, all students will remain indoors for the time being.
Junior high and high school students who normally travel to agriculture, weights, or junior high PE classes outside will be directed to walk through the elementary hallways.
Our staff will continue with indoor routines and remain vigilant. As always, if anything concerning arises on campus, it will be reported and addressed immediately.
We will share updates as soon as additional information is provided by law enforcement.
Crane R-III is proud to spotlight our incredible educators who go above and beyond, making public education great! Join us in celebrating our Teacher Proud Tuesday honorees, Mrs. Emilea Buckhannan and Mr. Daniel Cline! We would also like to thank Glossip Heating and Air for sponsoring our Teacher Proud Tuesdays by providing goodie bags for our monthly honorees!
