A high school teacher in Ohio had to have a portion of her skull removed after a 16-year-old student, possibly under the influence of an unknown drug, attacked her in her classroom last month.
According to a news release from the Colerain, Ohio Police Department, school resource police officers responded at about 2:18 p.m. on Jan. 4 to a report of a teacher being assaulted by a student at Colerain High School at 8801 Cheviot Road.
Additional police officers and Colerain Township Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services personnel were dispatched to the school. They took the teacher to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries.
Police said their investigation led to a 16-year-old student — whose name is not being released — being arrested and charged with one count of felonious assault. The release noted that in addition to the criminal charges, the student would face discipline from the school district.
