DAYTON — Video a Belmont mother said shows a teacher threatening her son at the high school Wednesday led to a police response to the school, one of 18 so far in 2018, according to records.
The mother said the dispute began over her son playing music on a computer inside the school and then escalated.
Since Jan. 1, Dayton police have responded to the high school 18 times, several which included assaults and fights, according to records.
Dayton Public Schools has made changes in the wake of the numerous incidents at the school.
“Because of this type of behavior occurring regularly at Belmont, the district took strong action and adjusted that building’s disciplinary support,” a statement from the district read.
Belmont is now managed by a team of 11 Dayton Public Schools staff members, who daily, carefully monitor the details of academics and discipline, according to the district.
We’re working to learn whether a school investigation is underway into the Wednesday video, a police report indicates no criminal activity occurred during the incident.
