E-mail from principal
Parents and Guardians,
Today, school officials received information about a possible weapon on school grounds. I immediately notified our school resource officer and other administrators and began a thorough search. During our search, a handgun was recovered. The weapon was secured, and two students involved in the incident were arrested and removed from school by the Newark Police Department. The students will also be disciplined according to the Student Code of Conduct.The consequences for students possessing or concealing a weapon are very severe. It is considered a Level III offense by the Student Code of Conduct, and may result in expulsion.
Parents are encouraged to discuss with their children both the dangers of handling weapons of any kind, and the serious consequences of possessing them on school property. Copies of the Student Code of Conduct are available in all District schools and on the District website: www.christina.k12.de.us
Sincerely,Curtis BedfordPrincipalNewark High School
