Breitung School Update-5/7/2026

Dear BTS Parent(s) or Guardian(s):
On the morning of May 6, school administration was notified of an off-campus incident
occurring in the community. The district prioritized the safety of students and staff by initiating a
Secure Action out of an abundance of caution and under the guidance of our School Resource
Officers and Kingsford Public Safety.
During the Secure Action:
● All exterior doors were locked to secure the physical facilities.
● No individuals were permitted to enter or leave the buildings.
● Students and staff remained safely inside, where classes and indoor activities continued
as scheduled.
Resolution
Following the successful resolution of the off-campus situation by local law enforcement, the
Secure Action was lifted.
● Dismissal: All end-of-day dismissal procedures proceeded as normal.
● Activities: All after-school activities continued as originally scheduled.
Community Partners and Appreciation
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the organizations that assisted in maintaining a
secure environment for our school community:
● Kingsford Public Safety, Iron Mountain Police Department, the Dickinson County
Sheriff’s Department, and the Michigan State Police for their swift assistance and for
providing an extra layer of security.
● The Dickinson-Iron Technical Education Center for their cooperation and assistance.
● Schilleman Bus Service for their help and readiness to address potential transportation
issues regarding our students at the tech center.
We appreciate the patience, cooperation, and trust demonstrated by our parents and guardians
throughout the day as we worked to keep our students and staff safe.
