Shawnee County schools enter secure campus, large police presence reported in Montara neighborhood

SHAWNEE COUNTY (KSNT) – Two schools south of Topeka are entering secure campus conditions Wednesday due to a nearby incident.

Jessica Roberts, a spokeswoman for the Auburn-Washburn School District USD 437, shared a message with 27 News sent out to families of children in the district on Aug. 27. Both Pauline Central Primary School and Pauline South Intermediate are entering “Secure Campus” due to nearby activity in the area that is unrelated to the school.

“As a reminder, Secure Campus is when students remain inside the building with all activities continuing as normal. We will provide another update when Secure Campus has been lifted.”
