UPDATED: BHS student transported to CCH with laceration above eye… after violent altercation on school grounds… [Video]
UPDATED – 9pm – 6/17/2014 – According to the CC Times, Barnstable Superintendent Mary Czajkowski confirmed today’s facial laceration was indeed the result of fight between students…. and also, according to Principle Patrick Clark, a “housemaster” described today’s violence as an incident where two “friends” were squirting water at each other on school grounds… the squirting escalated to “slapping…” then to one student being injured after her head “nicked” either a table or the floor…
This information comes at a time when Barnstable Public Schools is already under scrutiny for recent abuse allegations at Centerville Elementary…
… which leads HN to wonder why the BHS Principal’s Office was not more forthcoming with information regarding today’s act of violence which sent a teenage girl to CCH.
