Charlotte Catholic High School administrators confirmed the school has taken action against multiple students over bullying allegations, including removing several players from its football team.
The One In Five Foundation For Kids, a national school violence prevention and student advocacy group formed in the wake of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas, said it received several requests to look into alleged bullying at Charlotte Catholic. The organization says it will request oversight from the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte during the investigation.
On Friday, Charlotte Catholic President Kurt Telford confirmed the school has already disciplined students following the initial investigation. The consequences include expulsion, suspension and removing athletes from the football team. He issued the following statement through the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte:
"Charlotte Catholic High School has a strict policy that prohibits bullying and intimidation of any kind and includes consequences for anyone involved in such behavior. On Tuesday, we shared with our school community that we are investigating three bullying incidents that occurred in our boys locker room in recent weeks and involved members of our football team. While our investigation is ongoing, we have already begun to discipline those involved, imposing consequences that have included expulsion, suspension, removal from the football team and other penalties. We appreciate the support we have received from parents and students, who are partnering with us to help ensure incidents like this don’t happen again and that students feel empowered to report concerning behavior, as they did in this matter." #News
