The student's vehicle was searched and the airsoft gun was found, Kniseley said. The student will be disciplined according to the student code of conduct.
"Airsoft guns and other types of replica firearms are prohibited items on our campus," Kniseley said. "We appreciate the swift action by staff and school law enforcement."
He emphasized that at no time was student safety threatened.
Kniseley asked parents to talk to their children about the incident and to monitor the items students bring to school.
