On Thursday, January 12, 2023, law enforcement notified the Greene County Tech School District of an investigation involving stolen property in the community. During this investigation, they discovered that a GCT Jr. High student brought a handgun to school last Friday with the intent to sell, and money apparently changed hands in this transaction.
The students involved have been removed from campus pending the police and school investigations. It is not believed that the gun was brought with the intent to threaten or harm any student or staff. The District is cooperating with law enforcement and conducting its own internal investigation.
Safety of our students, faculty, and staff is always a top priority.
