A New Braunfels teen has been charged with felony aggravated assault after an altercation that hospitalized a 15-year-old Canyon High School student, according to the New Braunfels Police Department.

NBPD spokesman David Ferguson confirmed the new charge against the 16-year-old, who has since been detained and placed at the Guadalupe County Juvenile Detention Center. His name will not be released since he is a minor.

The incident in question occurred Jan. 9 at about 8:30 a.m. at Canyon High School in the boys’ locker room.

The two teens got into a fight and the younger teen suffered a head injury. He was transported via EMS to University Hospital in San Antonio, according to a previous report.

A spokesperson for the school district in Comal County previously told mySA.com the injured student was released from the hospital that same week.

The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung reports the 15-year-old is expected to make a full recovery, but he has not gone back to school yet.

CISD spokesman Steve Stanford told the New Braunfels paper the felony charge for the 16-year-old student could warrant an expulsion under the student code of conduct. The student will not be allowed back to the school for the remainder of the school year.

As a result of this and other fights, the high school is getting rid of a program called Mega Lunch, which was primarily used as a means to get students to get tutoring, go to clubs and do other work, according to the New Braunfels paper.

The school is instead adopting a new bell schedule with three lunches and time for tutoring, the Herald-Zeitung reported.
