Grafton Kennedy Elementary School was hosting a community picnic today when two female parents entered into a shouting match outside of the building.

David Jackson, Northridge Local Schools superintendent, was at the picnic when the incident began. He said the women started cussing at each other and threatening one another.

Police were called, and Grafton Kennedy Principal Jennifer Schmidlapp put the school on lockdown until the police arrived.

“The principal decided it was better to be safe than sorry,” said Jackson, noting he did not know of any previous trouble with these women.

Jackson said the police took statements and nobody was arrested. He said the lockdown lasted about 10 minutes.

“Everything is back to normal,” he said. “We will be dismissing as usual.”

Grafton Kennedy is at 2655 Wagner Ford Road in Dayton.
