A student was arrested during the summer session at Seminole High School after someone tipped off investigators that they had brought a weapon to campus, according to the district.
A message sent to parents said the weapon was found inside the student’s backpack; however, the student had not threatened anyone with it.
The message did not reveal any information about the student’s identity or what charges they might face. The district also did not say what type of weapon the student brought onto campus.
The district said it will have more law enforcement on campus, including a dog trained in weapons detection, out of an abundance of caution.

Dear Seminole High Summer School Families and Staff,
I wanted to reach out personally to let you know that today, our administration received a tip about a student with a possible weapon on campus.
We immediately engaged with our law enforcement partners and located the student in question. Law enforcement searched the student’s backpack and found a weapon. During the investigation, it was determined this individual did not make a threat to any persons or the campus, however, having any type of weapon on campus is strictly prohibited.
Proper disciplinary actions have been taken at this time, and the student has been taken into custody by law enforcement. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have additional law enforcement presence on campus including our weapon detection K9 officer.
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority and we are thankful for the individuals who reported this tip. It takes all of us working together to keep our campus a safe and vibrant community of learning.
