FINAL UPDATE: 5/16/2024 3:55 PM:
On 05/16/24 at 10:17 AM a Janesville Police Officer located a vehicle in the parking lot of the JSOL (3570 N. County Road A, Janesville, WI).  The vehicle belonged to a person we were attempting to locate to check the person's welfare.
Officers began searching the JSOL campus and determined School District of Janesville students were on campus for a field trip.  The Janesville Police Department worked cooperatively with the School District of Janesville to ensure all students were safely removed from the JSOL campus by school buses. 
During a search of the campus, a person was found deceased.  No foul play is suspected.  No additional information will be released at this time. 
We are appreciative of the Rock County Sheriff's Office's assistance in searching the JSOL campus.
