From the quoted MSN link:
A shocking new detail is that local parents say their kids at Augusta High School witnessed the 14-year-old girls being pulled out of class, arrested, and escorted off the property.
The school released a statement saying:
“Dear USD 402 families,
The district has been made aware of Augusta Public Safety Department's announcement regarding an ongoing investigation involving two Augusta minors who are part of a current law enforcement investigation. While the school district is not involved in this investigation, we will cooperate fully with law enforcement if the need arises.
News like this can be difficult, but I want to stress that the incident under investigation took place nearly one year ago, away from school. It did not take place on district property, and nobody from our school was placed in harm’s way at any time.
Because the law enforcement investigation is ongoing, the investigation involves minors, and it is not a district matter, it would be inappropriate for district staff to comment further.
If you have any concerns about how this news might affect your student, please contact your school for support. Thank you for your partnership as we work together to make our schools a safe, positive place for learning.”
