As students at York High School plan to stage a walk out on Friday following a bullying incident, elected leaders say bullying has no place in DuPage County.
Video of what appeared to be the bullying of a special needs student at York High School in Elmhurst drew the attention of the DuPage County Board Tuesday.
A video of last Thursday's incident shows a group of students mocking and shoving another student to the ground. The student, whom district officials identified as a student with a disability, then retreats to a bathroom stall. "We are deeply disappointed and saddened by the actions of this small group of students," Campbell wrote."Bullying, intimidation, harassment diminish a student's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate. Such behaviors are not tolerated, and any student who chooses to engage in these behaviors will face the appropriate consequences."
"The investigation revealed that the student with special needs, who is a member of the wrestling team, engaged in wrestling behavior with four other students, two of which are his teammates on the wrestling team," the news release states."In the video recording, a student who is not on the wrestling team appears to have pushed the student with special needs after physical contact was made.
"All schools in District 205 are welcoming and support all students," the statement read."The health and safety of our students is of the utmost importance."
