Safety hold at Hayden Meadows Elementary

Hayden Meadows Elementary was placed on a safety hold Monday afternoon while the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office responded to a welfare check involving a person who was last seen near the school.

“There is no immediate danger to the school, but we are being cautious nonetheless,” Stefany Bales, the Coeur d’Alene School District’s community relations director, said in an email to parents Monday.
