Madison Central High School has implemented increased police security measures after a series of physical altercations between students. The school board is treating the situation seriously and students involved may face expulsion. As a precautionary measure, there will be a heightened law enforcement presence on campus. Parents are encouraged to contact the school with any concerns and to discuss the consequences of inappropriate social media use with their children.
In a separate incident, a student at Central High School in St. Paul, Minnesota, was detained after a gun was found in their backpack. The student appeared to distance themselves from the backpack when security officers were talking to them. The gun was discovered during an investigation, and the police were called. The student has been booked for possession of a firearm by an ineligible person, possession of a firearm with no serial number, and possession of a firearm on school property. No threats were made, and no one was injured. The school administration and security staff followed safety procedures and contacted the police for support. Students who may need to talk about the situation can seek support from school counselors and social workers.
