School officials stated that one of the kids assaulted the staff member, resulting in their transportation to a nearby hospital for further treatment while intervening in a quarrel between two students.

“It’s a recurring problem at this school,” a student informs Boston 25. Another kid from Henderson School was just charged with assaulting the principal in 2021 after she was rendered unconscious and taken to the hospital.

Boston 25 News shared the same incident on its official Twitter account:

“It affects us as students as well who don’t do things like that – because you know – rules get heightened and you know we lose privileges,” a student said.

Per the BPS Code of Conduct, the offending student will face disciplinary action; different disciplinary action from law enforcement is also possible.
