We have been notified from the Walton County Sherriff’s Department and Walton County School District that there is an escape convict in South Walton County. All schools will be open however if you choose to keep your children home it will be an excused absence. All schools will be on lockdown until we hear from the sheriff’s department. All security measures will be taken and no one other than school personnel will be permitted in the school. Additional information will be sent as soon as we have received it.

Can't wait to hear how he got from 283 to Inlet and then on to Carillon. Glad everyone is okay so far.
