Cherryvale schools were put in a soft lockdown for a period today after reports of threatening behavior near one of the schools.  Officials received word this morning that threatening behavior was verbalized by an individual.  However later, after investigation by Cherryvale police the threat was found not to be credible.  Cherryvale Schools Superintendent, Travis Githens says the district took precautions in the meantime.

The soft lockdown only was in effect at the two schools in Cherryvale and not the school in Thayer that is part of the district
