The school district is asking all parents and guardians to search their children's bags on a regular basis to ensure they aren't carrying something to school that could be a danger to themselves or others.
"I know that incidents like these can be scary for students, parents, and our staff members. However, we will always take seriously any threat to student safety," Mazzei said.
