SOUTH BEND — A now-deleted video posted by a South Bend student on Facebook that appears to depict a fight between two Clay High School students and a teacher’s attempt to break it up has garnered a response from the South Bend Community School Corporation.

The video, posted Thursday evening, shows two female students fighting in a classroom while a teacher tries to separate them. The teacher appears to put one student in a headlock and after himself being struck in the head, later strikes a student with what appears to be an open hand.

At the end of the video, the teacher is picked up by a bystander and carried away from one of the students, while still holding one in a headlock.

The student who posted the video to Facebook attends Washington High School and isn’t being named because he is a minor and did not respond to a Tribune request for comment. He said on his Facebook page that he was suspended for posting the video that he found on Instagram. The video was deleted from the student’s page sometime after 4 p.m. Friday.

In a prepared statement, the South Bend Community School Corporation said the video was “troubling and does not reflect the safe learning environment in our schools.”

“Safety is our top priority; we do not condone violent behavior among students or staff,” the statement reads. “We are cooperating with law enforcement and conducting a thorough investigation into the incident and the actions of all involved.”

The corporation also said it has taken “appropriate measures consistent with the student code of conduct” and that the teacher in the video has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

The school corporation refused to comment further on the matter, did not identify the teacher in the video and did not answer questions about if the Washington High School student who posted the video was suspended.
