Report of weapon investigated at KHS
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019, Kickapoo administration investigated a tip that a student may have had a weapon at school. The KHS administrative team responded immediately to investigate and questioned the student. An unloaded hand gun was found and quickly taken into possession by School Police. The student did not have any ammunition for the weapon. No students or staff were harmed.
We consider any weapon at school a serious concern and Kickapoo administrators and School Police will continue to thoroughly investigate the matter.
This is an important reminder that we must all remain alert and report anything we see that might be a potential threat. This may be done by sharing information with school administrators, reporting it directly to School Police by calling 417-523-2911, or by texting the school tip line, 417-319-2901.
Appropriate disciplinary procedures will be followed based upon the findings of the investigation.
