The Sinaloa Middle School students, who are between 12 and 14 years old, were booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime and felony assault.
Eight girls at Sinaloa Middle School in Novato were arrested this week in connection with a schoolyard beating that injured two students on Friday.
The other student was injured when she tried to intervene, according to Christy Stocker, school principal. Stocker told parents the school is banning the use of cellphone cameras to shoot videos, unless the students are sending evidence anonymously to the STOPit app, which connects with the police department.She urged parents and students to keep the school and police aware of any threats or disturbances either through the STOPit app or by emailing her at cstocker@nusd.org. Smith said parents may also reach her at tracysmith@nusd.org.
Unaware of the school’s actions to prevent an incident, a huge mob of dozens of students roamed the campus on Thursday looking for the fight, but were unable to find it. “Based on the investigation that occurred on Thursday afternoon, the administrative team believed that there was no evidence that warranted a call to the school resource officer,” she said.
At Novato Unified, after a lengthy citizens committee process, the SROs’ presence was somewhat reduced by eliminating on-campus offices for the resource officers. However, the district chose to maintain a partnership with the police department and the two school resource officers.
