Hold and Secure causes busing delays at Chippewa

Students at Chippewa were delayed leaving school at the end of the day due to a Hold and Secure that was called late in the afternoon near the end of the school day. 

The school's principal sent a voice message to Chippewa secondary school parents to address the issue.  

"We are reaching out this evening to inform our families that we had a medical concern unrelated to COVID-19 take place at our school today," stated Julie Beaudoin, principal at Chippewa. 

"Both Ambulance and Police reported to our school to support. Their arrival at our school blocked the bus lane and delayed the release of our students. The school was placed in a Hold and Secure position to protect the privacy and the dignity of the students involved in the medical concern and to ensure all students safety for end of day dismissal."

Sources tell BayToday that the incident involved a female student who fell down a flight of stairs. No word on the extent of the injuries to the student.
