East Jackson Community Schools closed early over ‘cybercrime’

BLACKMAN Twp., Mich. (WLNS) – East Jackson Community Schools released students early on Tuesday after Blackman-Leoni Township police approached the district so the agency could conduct an ongoing investigation into a ‘cybercrime.’

Steve Doer, superintendent of East Jackson Schools, says it’s unclear what crime is being investigated. However, he tells 6 News he has confirmed this afternoon the district was not the victim of a cybercrime.

The dismissal Tuesday is expected to be a one-time incident, he says.

Blackman-Leoni Township Police didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry Tuesday night.
