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

man said.
SCHOOLS

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.
