The sheriff’s office said in a statement that it commends the school resource officers for quickly getting the situation under control before anyone was seriously hurt.
“The lack of respect demonstrated by these students is simply shameful,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “But actions have consequences. Parents, be the Sheriff in your home and teach your kids the importance of respecting teachers, staff, and deputies. Teach them how to handle disagreements and that fighting only leads to more violence.”
