UPDATE, 12:40 p.m.
Clarification: Previously we reported Southwest Laurens Elementary school was on lockdown.
Associate Superintendent of Laurens County Schools Ronda Hightower clarified to us that the school was on a 'lockout,' which means students were kept inside while staff and faculty were outside securing the property.
This was done as a precautionary measure, because a student escaped from the Teen Challenge Center near the school.
The school released a statement from Principal Lee Collins on their Facebook page.
Hightower says the situation was cleared in 30 minutes and dismissal will proceed as normal.
