Principal confirms firearm found on campus

A paper note was issued to students today referencing the firearm incident:

Dear East High Community,

I want to make sure you are aware of an incident which occurred at school on Monday September 29th, 2008.

While conducting a routine investigation into another matter, it was discovered that a student had inadvertently left a small caliber target rifle in their vehicle. The weapon was not loaded and was cased. There was no ammunition found. There was no evidence of any sort of threat against a student or staff member.

However, we take any incident involving the possession of a weapon on school grounds very seriously, and students who violate the school district's weapons policy are subject to disciplinary action, which may include expulsion.

I am thankful to our staff at East High School who worked on this situation, and I want to make sure that you heard from us first hand about what happened. The safety of our students is always a top priority. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely
(Signed)
Mike Zelenovich, Principal
