MANOR, Texas (KXAN) — Students in Manor are returning to class Tuesday for the first time since a fatal stabbing that left one student dead and another facing a first-degree murder charge.
18-year-old charged with murder after fellow Manor student dies in stabbing
Ahead of the return, Manor Independent School District leaders communicated with parents and students that the district was “implementing enhanced measures to create a safe, supportive, and caring environment for all students,” according to a post online .
Those measures include an increased number of administrators and law enforcement on campus, new procedures to prevent congregating in restrooms, and new check-ins with metal-detecting wands and searches of bags and jackets.
“We are ready for the children. We love those kids and we are going to do everything we need to take care of them,” Dr. Robert Sormani, Manor ISD Superintendent, said.
Police say 18-year-old Mac Brown Mbanwei fatally stabbed his classmate, 18-year-old Darrin Loving in an altercation that began in a restroom on Oct. 29. School was canceled the remainder of the week to allow time to mourn Loving’s death.
