A North Texas assistant principal was airlifted to the hospital after being injured by a student during a “classroom disruption.”
Candra Rogers, assistant principal at Collins Middle School in Corsicana, was flown to a Dallas-area hospital after Thursday’s incident.
The altercation occurred in a classroom with fewer than 10 students present, but authorities have not released details about what caused the injury.
The campus was then placed on “lockdown” status, meaning students were told to remain in their classrooms until officials told them it was safe to leave.
No other students or staff members were in danger, district officials assured parents in a letter from Principal Tiffany Boortz.
