Barton Community College offices will close for holiday break Monday, Dec. 22.  All offices will reopen Monday, Jan. 5.  Spring semester classes will begin Monday, Jan. 12.

A Barton Community College student accosted an instructor at about 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9.

The student has been incarcerated and is not expected to be released anytime soon. Students, faculty and staff are safe.

The primary objective of Barton’s Campus Safety personnel was to remove the student from the public area. The student was moved to an office where a Campus Safety employee attempted to defuse the situation. The employee contacted authorities and had additional staff on hand to minimize the student’s contact with the public.
