Marysville High School parents received a letter from Superintendent Shawn Wightman today after students were released early due to a drawing of a gun on a bathroom wall. The drawing had “2:45” written above it, and it was found by students and immediately reported to building-level administration.
The school contacted law enforcement who arrived on the scene to investigate and decided to release students early out of an abundance of caution.
In the letter to parents, Wightman said, “As a community, keeping our children safe is something we must do together. Communication, education, and training are part of this process. Consequently, I encourage you to share your concerns and ideas with us so that we can continue to make certain that our schools are the safest place for our children.”
Wightman also said the “incident will be investigated further and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
