Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools says Palisades High fight will draw student punishment
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and police are investigating a fight that broke out Thursday at Palisades High School that involved several students, according to the district.
Palisades High Principal Erik Olejarczyk, in a note to families, said law enforcement was involved and out of an abundance of caution, there was increased presence of law enforcement on the campus Friday.
“All students involved will be disciplined accordingly,” Olejarczyk wrote. “This aggressive and violent behavior is disruptive to learning and a violation of the Code of Student Conduct.”
He asked parents to partner with educators to create a safe learning environment by speaking with their children about appropriate behavior at school and reminding them about the consequences of their actions.
Palisades High is one of CMS’ newest schools, opening in 2022.
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report on the incident was not available as of early Friday afternoon.
