00:00Mr. Speaker, I have been advised by school officials that immediately upon discovering
00:06the items, in accordance with established protocols, one, the TTPS was contacted and
00:13officers attended the school to secure and remove the items. Secondly, the matter was
00:20reported through the ministry's school supervision and safety channels. Thirdly, the ministry
00:26continues to work closely with the police as investigations proceed. Importantly to note,
00:32Mr. Speaker, the initial assessment indicated no immediate threat to the safety of students
00:39or staff and teaching and learning activities were not disrupted. The Ministry of Education
00:46will continue to monitor the situation and will take any further necessary steps to ensure
00:52that Vecini Secondary School remains a safe environment for students, teachers and staff.
