A student found the kitchen paring knife at Marshall Simonds Middle School around 8:50 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, Burlington Police Chief Thomas Browne and Superintendent of Schools Eric Conti report. The student immediately told a teacher and an assistant principal took the knife.
Officials later identified the student who brought the knife to school and told their family, authorities said. The student will face the necessary repercussions as a result.
“Burlington Public School District puts student safety first,” said Superintendent Conti. “We work closely with the Burlington Police Department to ensure that all situations are addressed in the best interest of all students.”
The student will not face charges because of their age, authorities continued. There will be an increased police presence at the school on Wednesday morning as a precaution.
