SUMMARY: On September 18, a video captured an altercation between a 10th-grade student and an assistant principal at Novaro Early College High School. The student, during a restroom break, claimed the assistant principal pushed him back into a stall, placed hands around his throat, and physically restrained him. Another student recorded the incident, which ended when a school official intervened. Following the altercation, the student was suspended under allegations of having a vape, which his mother disputes. She has since sought legal action, prompting the school district to commence a thorough investigation into the incident, including a review for potential criminal behavior.
