North Carolina
Recently released North Carolina School Report Cards from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) show the numbers of criminal or violent acts are up at both junior highs in McDowell County.
Each year, the state releases report cards that provide parents and those invested in the school system an overview of how schools are doing based on student and school performance and school safety.
This year’s report on the 2011-12 school year shows that violent acts, or acts of crime or violence reports in school, at a bus stop, on a school bus, on school grounds or during off campus, school-sponsored activities at both schools increased last school year.
At East McDowell Junior High, the number of criminal or violent acts increased from four during the 2010-11 school year to nine during the 2011-12 school year.
East Principal Charles Gaffigan says that the additional acts of crime or violence were a result of a few bad decisions by a handful of students.
