Iowa City’s Lemme Elementary will be increasing police presence around the school because of an ongoing domestic situation.

An email was sent to families at the school Monday detailing that there would be increased police presence because of concerns that the situation may reach the school.

Additionally, policies at the school have changed.

People visiting the school will now be greeted at the front door by a staff member and directed to the office, where they will check in. Visitors will also not be permitted to wander the halls without visitor passes.

Although information about the domestic situation is not available, the school is reportedly now secure.
