An employee at a Corsicana School had to be taken to the hospital by air ambulance Thursday after what the district calls a "disruption" in a classroom.
The incident happened at Collins Intermediate School in a classroom with less than 10 students. It was stated that a student was detained after an Assistant Principal was injured in the classroom. On Friday, the intermediate school student went before a judge and was released to the custody of their parents.
Officials say they cannot give further details because the case is under juvenile court rules.
Candra Rogers, AP at Collins Intermediate School was lifted to a local hospital Thursday. Rogers underwent a medical procedure Friday morning for that injury. The school district is not commenting on the nature of the injury, other than to say it was not life-threatening.
Her condition continues to improve as she is recovering in the hospital.
"Our prayers are with Mrs. Rogers and her family, but also the family of the student, those in the classroom at the time, and the entire Collins campus, our school district, and our community,” Superintendent Stephanie Howell said. “This has been an extremely upsetting and difficult situation as you might imagine, but we take the safety not only of our students but also of our staff very seriously. Both remain a priority for Corsicana ISD.”
Police are still investigating the incident and pointed out that no other students or staff were in danger. The principal also said extra counselors will be on campus for the rest of the week.
Fifth and sixth graders go to Collins Intermediate.
