White Oak Middle School Student Brings Gun on Campus
A 7th grade student was removed from White Oak Middle School and placed in police custody after he brought a gun onto campus Thursday morning. Administrators were notified after a student came forward around 11:20 a.m.
The student is charged with Unlawful Carry and Places Weapons Prohibited, both 3rd degree felonies. New Caney ISD strongly adheres to Federal Law and the NCISD Student Code of Conduct regarding the possession of a firearm on school property. An incident of this nature mandates a 1-year expulsion.
“Today’s incident is deeply disturbing. We work very hard to provide a safe environment for our students, faculty and staff. It’s disheartening when that safe environment is compromised,” said Superintendent Kenn Franklin. NCISD is currently reviewing safety procedures. Parent meetings are planned for Thursday, January 21 at 7 p.m. and Friday, January 22 at 6 p.m. at the White Oak Middle School cafeteria to discuss the incident and address parent concerns.
