A release from Marshall Public Schools says a small group of Marshall High School students protested the district’s inaction concerning an incident that occurred over the weekend, off school property. MPS states the district has no jurisdiction in these types of incidents, but says it does take seriously the disruption of the educational process within and outside the building, whether during the regular school day, and before or after, and will take the necessary steps to maintain a safe environment for students and adults.

The situation was reportedly defused by school officials and the Marshall Police Department. No students or adults were injured or in danger at any time.

The release says the safety and protection of all students and staff, at all times, is the top priority of MPS administration and Board of Education.
