Millersburg Area School District

Good afternoon, Today the PA State Police contacted Lenkerville Elementary School and told them to have students and staff stay inside the school. The PA State Police stated that there is a police incident in the community. (not at the school) The Elementary Principal put the school in “Restricted Access” meaning that staff and student will need to stay inside, but classes will run as normal. State Police are on site at Lenkerville School and will remain on site until the incident has ended. Students will be dismissed as normal, with the addition of State Police presence.
