Yorkville Middle School took temporary security measures after behavioral issue between student and faculty

The Yorkville Police Department.

Students at Yorkville Middle School were held under a temporary “secure” following a behavioral issue between a student and a faculty member on Friday.

The Yorkville Police Department said “there’s no larger safety concern for the school” and that staff handled the behavioral issue.

Police said the campus was “open and functioning normally.”

A student was experiencing a mental health crisis that was mediated by staff and the School Resource Officer.

During a “secure” status students are told to stay in the classrooms while the situation is managed.

Students are generally prohibited from being in the hallways or in the area of disturbance during a secure.
