A student was arrested today after a teacher was assaulted at Foothill High in Henderson, the school’s principal said.
“The teacher was not physically harmed. School police quickly responded and handled the situation within minutes,” Principal Jonathan Synold said in a message to parents.
The School District confirmed the incident but did not provide any additional details.
“Due to privacy laws, we are unable to discuss individual student matters, however this event serves as a reminder that weapons of any kind are not permitted on campus,” Synold said.
“As it has been communicated multiple times, the Clark County School District is actively pursuing any and all legal actions against students who engage in violence and violate the CCSD Student Code of Conduct,” Synold said.
The arrest comes following the assault of a teacher at Eldorado High School on April 7.
A 16-year-old student was arrested on 15 felony counts, including sexual assault and attempted murder, authorities said.
