(KAIR)--The discovery of methamphetamine at the Atchison Elementary school leads to police response and to concerns arising from the discovery of a hypodermic needle at the same time.

The illicit items were allegedly brought to the school by a 5th grade student who apparently showed it to another student who reported it to school staff.

Superintendent Dr. Susan Myers told MSC News school district protocol was followed when staff learned of the discovery. "It came to the principal's attention through a student that there could be possibly drugs in our school [Wednesday] and immediately called the police. The police immediately came up, and followed their procedures, and did some testing and verified that yes, they were drugs. Then we follow our board policy in terms of possession of drugs for consequences."

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the investigation is continuing.

Following the discovery, and the apparent report of the incident by a student to a parent, a post, voicing concerns regarding the discovery, began to circulate on social media.
