In a letter to parents, Gullett Elementary School Principal Tammy Thompson said the school had not sanctioned the parent’s actions, adding that it was an unplanned event, KVUE-TV reported. Thompson’s letter added that school officials spoke with the parent about the “inappropriate nature of their activity,” according to the television station.
Thompson said some of the eggs did contain candy, but there were also condoms in others, KTBC-TV reported.
According to the Austin ISD, the parent was asked to leave the school premises, but the person then went to a public sidewalk to give away the eggs, according to the television station.
“We are working to review our safety protocols to ensure this does not happen again,” an Austin ISD spokesperson told KXAN-TV.
