Shelter-in-Place at Nathan Hale/JAMS
It appears there was police activity around Hale and JAMS this morning. From SPS Twitter:
Dear Nathan Hale Families -
At 10:00 AM we became aware of an incident that occurred on campus where a student was injured by another student, who is currently suspended and not supposed to be at the school. Nathan Hale staff immediately contacted Safety & Security and Seattle Police. The student was treated by the school nurse.
Because safety is our top priority, Nathan Hale went into shelter-in-place for less than an hour while SPD searched for the suspect. Nathan Hale follows Seattle Public Schools and Washington state requirements by:
• Having crisis response plans in place that address a full range of emergency situations. We also conduct lockdown drills and fire drills regularly to prepare for all kinds of emergencies.
• Our school counselors and staff will be available to discuss student concerns throughout the week and we can also provide resources for families if you need them.
I am very proud of the way the students and staff conducted themselves and I assure you that we will continue to keep you updated as I am aware of information.
Sincerely,
Jill Hudson, Ed.D.
Principal, Nathan Hale High School

Police Arrest Teen For Assault At His Former School
Written by Detective Drew Fowler on April 21, 2015 1:59 pm
Officers arrested a previously expelled 16-year-old student who returned to school and assaulted a student Tuesday morning.
Just before 10 AM police responded to the 107oo block of 30 Ave. Northeast for an assault of a student. The suspect, who had been previously expelled from the school, assaulted a student and then ran from the building. School security attempted to follow, but eventually lost sight of the suspect, as officers were responding to the scene.
Medics treated the 15-year-old victim for cuts and bruises suffered during the assault.
King County Sheriff’s Guardian One and multiple Seattle K9 officers assisted with the search that lead officers into a greenbelt and through a stream. Officers eventually located the suspect hiding under the back porch of a home in the area.
Police booked the teen into King County’s Youth Services Center on investigation of burglary.
