Legacy Traditional School is dealing with the fallout of an alleged "kill list" found in a fifth-grade room.

Legacy Traditional School district office released a statement today regarding a so-called “kill list” found in a fifth-grade class.

Parents of children named on the list by a 10-year-old classmate dispute some of the information from LTS.

The statement from Chief Academic Officer Bill Bressler reads:

“On Thursday, March 31, 2016, students at our Legacy Traditional School – Maricopa campus reported to school administrators information related to a student who had allegedly made a threat against eight classmates. The Maricopa Police Department was immediately notified, as were the parents of the student in question and the classmates allegedly threatened.

“No charges have been filed related to this incident. The student subject to the police action was removed from campus and has not returned. Legacy Traditional School is pursuing appropriate disciplinary action, according to our written policy, and will continue to review all aspects of this incident to ensure proper procedures are and have been followed.

“Legacy Traditional School campuses are among the safest in Arizona, and the safety of our students is our first and highest priority. We will continue to take all actions necessary to ensure our students can focus on learning and their academic achievement.”

Though MPD did not pursue charges against the accused student, three families have filed charges. MPD spokesman Ricardo Alvarado said he did not have that information yesterday when speaking about the situation.

“A juvenile long form complaint has been filed on the author of the list,” he said.

Charges include three counts of interference with or disrupting an educational institution (a Class 6 felony), three counts of threatening or intimidating, and three counts of disorderly conduct.

On learning of the charges filed, Bressler said, “Legacy Traditional School will continue to cooperate with authorities in all aspects of this investigation.”

Though parents of the listed children claim the accused student was back on campus at a concert the evening of the incident, Bressler said he had heard that rumor but did not find that to be the case. Further investigation by LTS did find the student had attended the concert in violation of a disciplinary form signed by his parents.

Parents of two of the children on the list also said they were not immediately notified by the school when the list was discovered.

“My daughter called me from the basketball coach’s phone,” one parent said. “I wasn’t called by the school. They didn’t talk to me. Not one email or call.”

“We talked to the principal [Nicole Mangum] eventually,” a parent of another child on the list said. “It seemed pretty obvious they didn’t have any protocol in place for this.”

The LTS district does have a written policy dealing with threats to students with a consequence chart.

“The court may not pick up the case, but we want to send a message,” another mother said.
