Superintendent says district did not endorse senior 'assassin' water‑gun activity; students turned in replica weapons
Summary
In the superintendent's report the district said it learned of planned off‑campus senior 'assassin' water‑gun activities, asked students to surrender certain water guns and made clear the district did not endorse the event.
Superintendent Miss Vlacity informed the board that school administrators had become aware of a planned senior 'assassin' activity — a community, off‑campus game in which seniors use water guns — and that staff proactively intervened.
Vlacity said students who disclosed they had water guns that appeared pistol-like were asked to turn them in to school staff and that administrators spoke with the student body about safety and the risks of appearing to carry weapons in public. She said the school was not endorsing or sponsoring the event and asked students to consider moving activity off campus; some parents also contacted the district to ask where they could drop off water guns.
The superintendent described the district’s steps as preventive and said staff worked with students who voluntarily surrendered items so there would be no disciplinary escalation. She said the district would continue to monitor the situation.
