The school board president did confirm, however, that Allegheny County Police are involved in a situation at the high school involving a teacher.

He said he couldn't say much more due to it being a personnel matter.

Allegheny County Police Superintendent Coleman McDonough says Liberty Borough Police called the county for advice related to a case at South Allegheny. McDonough went on to say that county no longer has involvement in the matter.

There's no information at this point about why the students were allegedly locked in the locker room.
