Selma City Schools Superintendent Angela Mangum said an investigation is still ongoing into a fight Tuesday morning at Selma High School.

Four students were arrested Tuesday after attacking a pregnant student at the school.

The students were charged with disorderly conduct, according to Lt. Natasha Fowlkes with the Selma Police Department. Mangum said Selma High principal Emma Alexander spoke to the victim’s mother Wednesday morning and reported back that the student is OK and has been released from the hospital.

“She said her daughter is fine but that she is very upset that this situation occurred,” Mangum said.

The incident was a continuation from a confrontation that took place during the weekend or Monday night.

“It escalated to the school the next day,” Fowlkes said.

The incident took place in a classroom between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. Fowlkes said the victim was transported to the emergency room.

“The main thing is that type of behavior will not be tolerated in the school system. We are doing a thorough investigation and the student code of conduct will be applied to this situation. We believe in being proactive in trying to prevent situations like this from occurring,” Mangum said.

Mangum said several faculty members tried to step in, but the students continued to fight. She was not able to confirm students’ grade levels or ages Wednesday morning.

Mangum said for any fight in the school system the discipline includes a suspension and time at the alternative school.

She said no determination can be made about expulsions until an investigation is completed and previous discipline records are reviewed, among other factors.

Any expulsion goes through a committee, which would review all of the information and make a recommendation to Mangum, who would make the final decision.

Video of the fight was posted onto social media, another thing Mangum was disappointed in. She said she hopes students learn how permanent anything posted on the internet is.

“If you’re making the decision you think its fun or its funny or its entertainment to post a fight on the internet, you are impacting those people’s lives,” Mangum said. “It is out in the universe forever.”

Mangum said the school system has taken many strides to educate students on the importance of having respect for themselves and others.

She said it’s going to take a community effort to make sure students have a positive model to look up to.

“We as a community, I’m talking about the school system community as well as parents as well and the general community at large, we all have to work together and provide a model of the way you handle situations and being respectful, proactive and make sure that we as adults are good models because if we aren’t, our children don’t have anyone to look up,” Mangum said.
