A bathroom fight at Grayson High School this week ended in one student slashing another with a box cutter and Principal Dana Pugh sending a letter home to parents stressing that such behavior will not be tolerated on school grounds.
In the letter, Pugh said two students were fighting when one used a box cutter to slice the other, prompting a teacher that was also in the restroom at time to become involved by breaking up the fracas, a report from FOX 5 Atlanta said.
"I want to be clear, what happened today is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," Pugh wrote to parents on Oct. 31.
The student who was injured was taken to a local hospital with "serious, but non-life-threatening injuries" and is expected to fully recover, the FOX 5 report said. Both students will punitive measures for fighting, which is a violation of the school district's disciplinary code.
Pugh noted that the student who brought the box cutter onto campus is also expected to face criminal charges, the report said. The principal further expressed disappointment in the students who recorded the violent incident and later posted it to social media, adding that "that behavior is also unacceptable, against school district policy and those who engaged in that behavior will also face disciplinary consequences.”
