Earlier this morning, the Herma S. Simmons Elementary School administration received a report that a student was in possession of a taser. The student was immediately isolated, and the administration took possession of the device. The Clayton Police Department has been contacted, and they are investigating the situation. At no time were any staff members or students in any danger.
I want to applaud the quick response and intervention of my Elementary School staff once they became aware of the situation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Nikolaos C. Koutsogiannis
Superintendent of Schools
