Cave Creek Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Nicole Regan sent a message to parents of Cactus Shadows High School on Oct. 22 with an update regarding an incident that happened on campus on Sept. 11.
“The Cave Creek Unified School District is aware of an ongoing Scottsdale Police Department investigation involving a report that a student brought a firearm onto the Cactus Shadows High School campus,” Regan said in the joint statement email. “As part of the investigation, concerns were identified about how the initial report was handled after it was brought to the school’s athletic director’s attention.
“Scottsdale Police submitted a case involving the athletic director to the Scottsdale City Prosecutor’s Office for review of potential criminal charges related to the failure to report the allegation,” Regan added. “The submission of a case for review does not mean formal criminal charges have been filed.”
