KILLEEN, Texas – Eight students from Gateway Middle & High School, an alternative education school for KISD, are being charged with rioting and were taken to the Bell County Juvenile Detention Center, the school’s principal said in a message to parents.
The students at the Killeen ISD alternative school got into an altercation at dismissal, the message said.
“This led to students not only being disrespectful to one another, but towards our KISD and KPD officers,” the message said. “This will not be tolerated at Gateway or any Killeen ISD campus.
“The disrespectful behavior must stop, and I need your help. We must work together so that our students understand the severity and consequences of their actions. All students involved will face further disciplinary consequences as outlined in the student code of conduct.”
