The Sheriff’s Office was notified at 9:46 a.m. at the school, 1879 West Genesee Street Road in Auburn.
BOCES staff contacted the juvenile student.
Sheriff’s deputies, New York State Police and Auburn Police responded and cleared the school.
The lockdown was lifted, and morning students were dismissed.
The Sheriff’s Office said there was no danger to students, the school community or the public.
The Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation.
