Marshall Public School officials are reporting a small group of Marshall High School students protested the district's inaction concerning an incident that occurred over the weekend, off school property.

MHS Principal Christy Jones and Superintendent Dr. Carol Maher said in a release that the "district has no jurisdiction in these types of incidents but does take seriously the disruption of the educational process within and outside the building, whether during the regular school day, and before or after, and will take the necessary steps to maintain a safe environment for students and adults."

According to the release, the officials and Marshall police defused the situation and no students or adults were injured.
