Police Investigate Report After-School Supervisor Encouraged Kids To Fight
(CBS) – Chicago police are investigating a report that an after-school supervisor at an elementary school encouraged two children to fight earlier this week, officials said.
The adult in charge of the children "may have encouraged two students to engage in an inappropriate physical action," according to a letter from Stagg School of Excellence to parents.
"The safety of your children is always our top priority, which is why we must inform you of an incident that occurred at our school on Monday afternoon," Principal Miyoshi Knox said in the letter.
The adult is not a CPS employee and is no longer supervising after-school activities at the school, she said. Also, parents of the student involved in the incident have been notified, the principal said.
"Chicago Police Department is now conducting an investigation. Our goal remains to provide all students with a safe, positive environment both throughout the school day and during after-school activities," Knox said.
