Collegiate will continue to cooperate with local law enforcement and the prosecutor’s office as they engage this
case. Our faculty, staff, and leadership team will continue to take appropriate action based upon the facts around
this incident and to ensure that it does not occur in the future.

De La Salle remains committed to creating a safe and positive environment for every student within its school
community, and will continue to provide support to the students and families involved in this matter. De La
Salle has and will continue to provide assistance to the students impacted by these events.

school is mandated by law to conduct an internal investigation regarding the problem or issue while fully
cooperating with local law enforcement.
