FIGHT Continued from 1 Cheeseman said. Also arrested were Terrill Tillett of Dogwood Mobile Home Park. He was charged with disorderly conducted with a $500 secured bond. Austin Deziel of Creecy Lane was charged with dis orderly conduct and jailed under $500 secured bond. Two other students were arrested, but their names were not released because they are juveniles. The fight was captured by three cam eras in the area,” Cheese man said. SCHOOLS Continued from 1 1, The extra 15 minutes to will last throughout this school year. “We polled our staff and sent out recommendations and it came back that 89 percent of the 157 people who responded said they chose that option (add ing 15 minutes) instead of changing the physical “We’ll go frame by frame,” he said. “This kind of behav ior will not be tolerated.” The high school shares the same School Resource Officer (Deputy David Mur ray) with Hertford Gram mar School and when the fight broke out shortly after 8:45 a.m. Murray was at the grammar school. Cheese man said Murray quickly re turned and along with Dep uty Robert Farrar were able to get the situation under control within 15 minutes. One teacher who would talk off the record said she was unaware of the fight until students told her. It occurred in a hallway near calendar,” said Lisa Lane, the spokeswoman for the school system. The most onerous op tion would be to call stu dents and staff in on Satur days to make up the time. After Hurricane Matthew Superintendent Matthew Cheeseman said flat out the “Saturday School” op tion was not even on his radar. Another traditional op tion would be to eliminate the library. “My classroom is away from the point of the alter cation,” she said. “I wasn’t even aware of it until stu dents started coming in to begin the next class and were talking about trying to get through the halls. Then it was just a matter of trying to get them all calmed down from being hyped up.” Classes for the day contin ued, an assembly was held as planned and a volleyball game went on as scheduled Thursday evening. “I’m very proud of the way my staff handled the situation,” Cheeseman said. He also praised students holidays around Christmas and Easter. That creates issues because some fami lies already have vacation time scheduled around those dates, “We’re trying to respect families,” Lane said. “Our calendar is so tight the way it is, we’d have to cut into Christmas vacation or spring break. We’re mak ing an intentional effort to preserve family time.” Five of the missed days for following orders and re turning to their classrooms where they were held un til the situation was under control. The fight was con fined to the hall around the library and started during a time when students were in the hall between classes. Cheeseman also praised Perquimans County Emer gency Medical Service workers for their quick ac tion in arriving and treating the injured. “What really impressed me was by the time EMS ar rived we were able to hand them a list of just who was injured.” The injured were taken to an empty classroom where EMS could evaluate them. Parents were quickly notified by an automated phone message, Cheese man said. $4,000 CASH were from Hurricane Mat thew and there were two days lost with a lesser storm earlier in the year. Both flooded roads and mad£ travel dangerous. Lane can’t speak for what happens in the future, because winter storms can force schools to close. She said cutting into traditional vacation time could be still be required, but school of ficials don’t want to do that now.
