High school students in Quesnel were in hold and secure due to incident

There was an incident at Correlieu Secondary School in Quesnel this (Tuesday) afternoon

RCMP and BC Ambulance were called to the school just after 1 and students were placed in what is called a hold and secure.

School Superintendent Dan Lowndes said “I can’t give you a lot of details at this time. I can tell you it was a student incident and out of the respect for those involved I really can’t comment further at this time.”

Lowndes says as they get information from the school they will then be able to share more information with parents.

He says a hold and secure is a tool they use for a number of reasons.

“Whether it’s ensuring safety, sometimes to give space within a school, or perhaps even for allowing for the students to maintain dignity. I know sometimes we’ve used a hold and secure on schools if there is a medical intervention happening for example in the hallway.”
