City of Wadena issued the following announcement on Oct. 29.
Wadena-Deer Creek Elementary and Middle/High School will be on "soft lockdown" today (Oct. 29) due to the escaped inmate being still at-large. All doors will either be locked or manned. We will have a police presence at both schools today. School will otherwise run as usual.
We are doing this with an abundance of caution -- the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
