On Tuesday, the Douglas County School System released a statement, expressing sadness over Scott's death.
Trent North, the system's superintendent said:
The Douglas County School System is devastated by the recent loss of one of our students. This student was a valued member of our family and will be deeply missed.
This loss has shocked and saddened our learning community. For students, this loss has been unbearable. Monday morning, we activated our Crisis Response Team.

The next few days and weeks will be particularly challenging for our community. But as the Douglas County community has many times before, we will be there for each other. We will comfort and encourage each other. Our school system will stand firm and continue supporting those impacted by the tragedy as we navigate through this difficult time.
