On Oct 22, two students at Matthew Henson Middle School were involved in an argument, which escalated into a fight. A third student, who was with one of the involved students, also became involved in the altercation. A school administrator broke up the fight and separated the students. One of the students reported injuries and was seen by the school nurse before being released to their parents. The school resource officer was contacted and initiated an investigation. After consulting with the involved students’ parents, the students will not be charged; however, all three students face disciplinary consequences in accordance with Charles County Public Schools Code of Conduct.
