One girl was cited for having marijuana on school grounds, possesion of alcohol by a minor and unlawful acts on school grounds.
The girl was released to the custody of her parents, Jackson said.
“Denver police are doing an investigation, so there’s not much I can release at this point,” Doug Schepman, spokesman for Denver Public Schools, said.
School was dismissed as normal, Schepman said.
He referred further questions to police.

Two of the boys, a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old who police say each brought a handgun to school, were charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, a Class 6 felony. They also were charged with possession of a handgun by a juvenile, a Class 2 misdemeanor.
The third boy, who is 12 years old, faces a charge of explosive hoax, a Class 5 felony. An officer also found suspected cocaine and “hash” in his backpack, according to a statement of probable cause.
Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the city’s district attorney’s office, said the boys .
The boys are accused of bringing the guns and device to school April 10. Classmates of the boys alerted administrators to the weapons.
Police said they do not believe the boys intended to harm anyone at the school, though the probable-cause statement shows the student who reported the boys indicated they possibly were trying to harm a teacher.
