KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Classes at Olathe West High School started as normal Tuesday after police were called to the school overnight.
Olathe Public Schools and police were notified overnight that someone might have entered the high school after hours, the Olathe Police Department told KSHB 41.
Before school started, police responded to Olathe West to ensure there was no one inside the building or any threat to students.
Around 7:30 a.m., police determined there was no suspicious activity in the school, and classes were cleared to begin as normal.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the Olathe Police Department was on-site this morning to make sure the building was clear before starting the day," a district spokesperson told KSHB 41. "As students arrived, they reported to the Main Gym until the police gave the all-clear. We have received confirmation from the police department that the building is clear, and that we can continue school as normal."
The spokesperson said anyone who is late to school this morning because of the incident will not be counted tardy.
