Youngstown City School District - Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future

In the afternoon of November 19, it was discovered that a scholar possessed a gun, which was not wielded at any time. East High School followed all emergency plan operations involving law enforcement. 

We understand your concern as parents and guardians. Please be assured that everyone is safe, the building is secure, and the weapon was never discharged. Appropriate action will be taken according to district policy, as any incident involving a weapon is taken seriously. 

Youngstown City Schools is committed to a safe environment for all scholars and staff. We encourage you to have an open conversation with your child about the importance of reporting any concerns they may have regarding school safety.

We thank you for your trust, support, and understanding.
