Bucksport High Students Dismissed Early Due to a ‘Safety Concern’

Parents of Bucksport High School students are being alerted that teens are going home early today.

Bucksport High School is Investigating a 'Safety Concern' at the High School

In a post on the school's Facebook page, administrators say that the school is closing early because of a 'safety concern' communicated through social media. Bucksport's Public Safety departments are assisting the school with the situation.

High School Students are Being Dismissed in a Variety of Ways

How students are being dismissed depends on their mode of transportation:

• Students that usually depart the school by bus will be taken by bus to their home address.
• Students who walk home or use personal vehicles will depart the same way.
• Parents and guardians picking their students up at the school will need to do so at the front of the building and will have to call the office, 207-469-6650, and their student will be dismissed. No one will be allowed to enter the building.

Administrators are asking for patience from parents and guardians because a limited number of people will be available to answer the phone.
