On Jan. 21, Marion High School administrators were made aware of an argument between two students that escalated to a physical altercation at the school, in which one of the students received an injury that required medical attention.
Administrators took action to address the situation, and Marion Community Schools is cooperating with local law enforcement as they continue to investigate this incident. We cannot share details about specific disciplinary action for individual students.
Marion Community Schools takes all reports of threats seriously. Safety of our students is top priority. All reports of threats are investigated. We are committed to a safe and healthy learning environment. We would like to take this opportunity to urge anyone who notices anything suspicious while at one of our schools or at a school event to contact the nearest MCS employee immediately.
In addition, we ask anyone who knows anything that threatens the safety of our students or schools to contact school or district administrators at any time. Contact information for all of our buildings is available at our website here. Reporting issues directly to our staff is the best way to address problems.
We do also have an anonymous student/school safety hotline available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call or text 765-673-7373 or email hotline[at]marion.k12.in.us.
