The Brooklyn City School District delayed student dismissal Thursday afternoon due to "police activity" outside, near the campus. The scene has since been cleared.
News 5 was on the scene Thursday evening and saw Brooklyn SWAT bring a person out of a home.
It is unclear whether they have someone in custody for the situation.
"There is no immediate threat or incident at the district campus, however, Brooklyn Police Department has advised the Brooklyn City Schools to delay dismissal until the district has received the 'all clear' confirmation," the district said Thursday afternoon.
According to the district, students who are "car riders" were cleared to leave, but had to be walked to their vehicle by a school employee. All other students are inside their classrooms with staff members.
"Due to the ongoing incident outside of the school, we will not be dismissing students to walk home. Please take your time. All students are safe and in their classroom," the district said.
Preschool through grade 7 students were walked to the Blue Lot. Grades 8 to 12 were walked to the high school's front lot.
Additionally, parent-teacher conferences were canceled and rescheduled.
We've reached out to police for more information on the activity occurring near the school.
This story will be updated when more information becomes available.
