A teacher has been injured and a youth charged with assault following an incident at a school in Chestermere earlier this month.

A teacher at the school who Global News agreed not to identify, told Global News the the victim suffered a broken nose.“Mostly verbal and gesturing within their classrooms over the last year. We are seeing some damage to teachers’ personal property as well, and that is concerning to teachers because we are seeing more of this happening on a daily basis within our schools,” said ATA president Jason Schilling.

Rocky View Schools won’t share the details because of privacy reasons. In a statement, a spokesperson for the school division said safety is a priority. “We do not tolerate acts of violence in our schools and take any risk to safety very seriously. All incidents are promptly and thoroughly investigated with those directly involved and next steps are determined based on the individual needs of the situation.

Rocky View Schools can’t confirm if the student was expelled but teachers say that doesn’t solve the problems of high needs students.Schilling said everyone has a role to play including government, parents, wraparound services and school boards. “That’s one of the frustrations that has been expressed by our members is the follow through with school boards on that. We want the best interest of the child in place, but we also want to make sure that staff are safe and protected as well. It’s finding that balance of working with school boards on a case by case basis when we see incidences come up,” Schilling said.“We need to look at the factors that led to being in that spot,” Schilling continued.
