A student assaulted an assistant principal at James Clemens High School in Madison on Wednesday as the administrator was attempting to break up a fight on a school bus, Madison City Schools Superintendent Ed Nichols said.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday morning, Nichols described the incident in which the assistant principal – whom the school system is declining to identify at this time – was struck in the back of the head six to 10 times by one of the students in the fight. The student also bit the assistant principal on the arm, breaking the skin through his long-sleeve clothing and left the injury bloody, Nichols said.Video captured by students and circulated on social media showed the assistant principal struck the student. Nichols said the assistant principal felt he was in danger. Nichols said no punishment is planned for any of the administrators involved in the incident.
Nichols said the students have been suspended from school and that Madison police were called to investigate. State law also requires that the sheriff also be advised when a school employees is assaulted and Nichols said Limestone County Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin will be informed later Thursday.Nichols said that video of the incident captured only of a few seconds of a situation that lasted about three minutes and that the circulating video does not show the full context of what happened.
“ did everything they could to de-escalate,” Nichols said. “I don’t want our employees to feel like they can’t protect themselves. They had no choice . They could not stand on the sidelines.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
