A fight involving two students took place at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School on Wednesday, the first day back from winter break, a spokesperson for MCPS confirmed to MCM.
The fight was de-escalated by an administrator and school security, the spokesperson said.
Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando released the following statement related to a video of the fight shared with him:
“I have been briefed by MCPS regarding the fight at BCC High School on the first day back from break. I commend the school administrators and security team for acting swiftly. No matter the reason, violence has no place in our schools or community.
“Our students, teachers and staff deserve a safe place to learn and work. As an MCPS parent, all families deserve to feel safe sending their children to school. I will continue my efforts as chair of the Education and Culture Committee to ensure that MCPS has the funding to provide comprehensive support, including security, mental health services and restorative justice programs to address conflict and keep students safe.”
A community letter from B-CC principal Dr. Shelton L. Mooney will be sent out later today.
