WILMINGTON, Ohio — Students at Wilmington City Schools will head back to the classroom Wednesday after the district closed Tuesday because of a "security concern."

The district did not elaborate on the type of "security concern" but Superintendent Jim Brady said additional security measures are being implemented out of an abundance of caution.

"The safety and security of our students and staff is the top priority for school officials and law enforcement," Brady said in a release to students, parents and staff. "We are working together to resolve this issue as soon as possible."

Wilmington police have not said if they have any suspects in custody.

The district said extra police presence will be in place Wednesday.

WCPO is working to learn more information about this ongoing incident.

This closure adds to a growing list of recent security concerns and threats at districts across the Tri-State.

This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
