The North Penn School Board District has hired an independent investigator to probe a lunchroom attack last month when one student allegedly beat another with a metal Stanley Cup.
The decision to hire Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law, a York-based law firm, came in a unanimous decision at the district's Thursday night meeting. The third-party attorneys will be tasked with investigating an attack at Pennbrook Middle School on Apr. 17 that officials say involved a 13-year-old student beating a 12-year-old student with a metal Stanley Cup mug in the lunchroom.
One student who spoke at a school meeting said she'd "never forget" watching custodial staff clean up blood leftover from the melee. "This should not have happened, period. Such behavior has no place in our schools," North Penn School District Superintendent Todd Bauer said. "You expect better. We expect better, and certainly I do, as well.
