(October 1, 2008)—The Waco Independent School District said late Wednesday that disciplinary action has been started against two teenage girls involved in an after-school fight Tuesday on a school bus that sent one to the hospital and another to juvenile detention.
The fight broke out around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday aboard a full school bus in the area of 12th Street and West Avenue.
Police said the two girls, one 15 and the other 16, got into the fight over a previous incident.
The 16-year-old slapped the 15-year-old, who then pulled out a razor blade and used it to slash the other girl’s face.
The 16-year old was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center for treatment of a laceration above her eye.
The 15-year-old was arrested and taken to the Bill Logue Juvenile Detention Center.
Administrators reviewed a videotape of the incident Wednesday and afterward a school representative went to the home of one of the girl whose face was slashed to inform her and her parents that she was being referred to the district’s Alternative Campus.
The other student, who remained in juvenile detention on Wednesday, will also be referred to the Alternative Campus once she’s released from custody, the district said.
