SUMMARY: A public safety forum was held in Jessamine County to address concerns over recent school lockdowns. The meeting followed two incidents: a prank involving a gun at East Jessamine High School and a mistaken identity of a vaping device at East Jessamine Middle School. While most situations posed no real threat, leaders emphasized the importance of taking all incidents seriously. Parents voiced concerns over slow communication after lockdowns, with one praising the quick response but criticizing the delay in updates. A petition for metal detectors was discussed, but the superintendent stated budget and staffing constraints prevent their implementation.
