Statement from Superintendent Debbie Thompson:
On Friday, December 18th, we became aware of an incident at Lapeer East High School that occurred at the school on Thursday night, December 17th. We immediately began an internal investigation. The nature of the incident caused us to promptly request an investigation by the State Police and the police immediately responded and began their investigation.
The safety of our students is our primary concern and the students involved in the incident were immediately suspended from school pending the outcome of our internal investigation.
Our first choice is to keep students and parents informed. However, the State Police has asked us to make no statements in reference to the specific details of the incident because it could hinder their investigation.
