United School District officials have released details on an incident on Monday aboard one of the district’s buses.
According to a statement from Superintendent Dr. Richard Lucas, an elementary school student made a statement on the bus yesterday morning concerning a potential safety-related matter involving a weapon. The administration was alerted and acted immediately to intervene prior to the bus arriving at the school. The statement was proven to be without merit and at no time were students or staff in harm’s way. Once everyone’s safety was confirmed, the bus was allowed to continue towards the school.
Notifications were sent out to the district community the same day as part of the requirements of Act 44 of 2025 regarding parental and employee notification of weapon incidents.
