Clarksville Montgomery County School System holds Safe School Lockdowns at Two High Schools

Montgomery County, TN – Two Clarksville Montgomery County School System schools today implemented safe lockdowns for random contraband searches.

No threats precipitated the search. The school district does this periodically in cooperation with law enforcement to insure a safe learning environment for students.

Led by Montgomery County Sheriff’s department deputies and K-9 officers, the search focused on school lockers and automobiles parked in the school lots. Students remained in their classrooms until the lockdowns were completed around.

Disciplinary and/or legal action will be taken with three students at Rossview High School who had items in their vehicles that are in violation of Tennessee code or contraband in student lockers. Two of the students were charged with simple possession and one was charged with simple possession and drug paraphernalia.

No infractions were found at Kenwood High School.
