A student was admitted to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation after being discovered with a “noose fashioned with a shoestring” inside a Nathan Hale School bathroom.
So reported city spokesperson Kyle Buda.
The student did not suffer physical harm, Buda reported.
An earlier message to the school community from the district superintendent may have left an inaccurate perception of the incident.
Schools spokesperson Justin Harmon subsequently issued a release confirming that the incident was not race-related.
