Officials released more details about the incident Wednesday at North Central High School.
Nikki Woodson, superintendent of the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township, noted a rise in “physical aggression” among students, often due to social media.
“The violence must stop so that our schools can remain safe places to learn. … When violence does occur, it will not be tolerated,” Woodson said.
An 18-year-old student was arrested in the stabbing of another teen at North Central. Staff intervened in the fight, and the injured 17-year-old was taken to a hospital.
The Marion County prosecutor will determine charges. Classes resumed Thursday with extra security.
