Good Afternoon,
After an extensive investigation by PORTA Administration and Menard County Sheriff’s office we have determined any threat to the School in relation to the most recent reports received last evening are not credible at this time. All parties have been interviewed by the Menard County Sheriff’s department and all are confident that PORTA Schools are safe from any threat at this time. Therefore, at 1:00 PM on January 25, 2017 the soft-lockdown of the PORTA Schools has been lifted and all activities will resume to normal.
We understand this event took some time to resolve but the investigation was further complicated by the fact that interviews had to be conducted from residents outside Menard County. Thank you for your understanding in these matters as we strive to continue to provide a safe learning environment.
Thank You
Matthew W. Brue
