Katy Independent School District reported another incident involving a student with gun on campus.

A Nottingham Country Elementary student brought an Airsoft BB gun to school last Tuesday, but administrators were not notified until another student reported the incident late Friday.

"We questioned the student and they did admit to having a BB gun on campus," principal Marlene Bourgeois said in the e-mail sent to parents Saturday.

"We have contacted the student's parents and are dealing with this issue in the proper manner, including appropriate disciplinary action."

Katy ISD Director of Communications Steve Stanford told the Times the incident is a “Level IV offense, which results in an off campus DAEP placement.”

This is the second time this month that a student has brought a weapon on campus. On Jan. 13, a Katy High School student brought a loaded gun to school to show it off to other students during lunch.

Stanford told the Times after the last incident that "a weapon on campus is a Level V offense, which results in removal from campus to a JJAEP program."

The e-mail sent Saturday, in its entirety, reads as follows:

Dear Parents:

I would like to bring your attention to an incident that happened earlier this week. A student reported to us late Friday that on Tuesday another student had brought an Airsoft BB gun to school. We questioned the student and they did admit to having a BB gun on campus. We have contacted the student's parents and are dealing with this issue in the proper manner, including appropriate disciplinary action.

Students are often the first line of defense when it comes to keeping our schools safe as they often have first-hand knowledge about what their classmates are doing. I ask that you use this incident as a teachable moment with your child to help confirm with them the important role they play in keeping our school safe. Please remind them that when they learn that a prohibited item is on campus that they should always inform a teacher or principal as soon as possible.

The safety of your child and every other child here at Nottingham Country Elementary is one of our highest priorities. With your help, we will continue our commitment to creating a safe, secure and conducive learning environment for your child.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Marlene Bourgeois

Principal, Nottingham Country Elementary
