At approximately noon Wednesday, an employee of a nearby business notified the campus security officer of Harmony Science Academy-Odessa of some potentially concerning comments made by a customer regarding the school.
While the customer’s comments did not constitute a specific threat, the security officer determined it was necessary to enact campus security protocols as a precaution. Local law enforcement was contacted and the campus was placed on temporary Secure status, a news release said.
At this time, Odessa Police has concluded its investigation and determined that there is no credible threat to the campus. The Secure status has been lifted for our campus, though OPD officers remain on campus as a precautionary measure, the release said.
All students and team members are currently safe, and students’ families have been notified.
No other comment is available at this time.
