Kirtland Central High School Continues to Respond to Tension

Farmington, NM
Detectives interviewed dozens of Kirtland Central High School students and the school district said it is taking steps to stay ahead of student squabbles after a high-strung week.

Altercations between students and threats of violence prompted law enforcement to have an increased presence at the high school this week.

A fight near the school on Tuesday left one student needing medical attention. School administrators sent a letter home with students on Wednesday telling parents a student had died unexpectedly in Shiprock last weekend and the note asked parents to monitor social networking sites for threats or bullying because of recent incidents at the school.
