Fairbanks North Star Borough School District issued the following announcement on April 8.
Today, April 7, 2022, North Pole High School was placed on a brief lockdown status to deal with a student dispute in the student parking lot and a potential weapon threat. North Pole Police Department arrived within moments of being contacted and secured the area. As a precautionary measure, North Pole Middle School and North Pole Elementary School were put in lockdown as well.
