Staff member injured, several students in custody after large fight at Meadowdale High

Initial reports indicate there was a disturbance on the second floor and that a security guard was injured. A medic was dispatched to the school, but the extent of any injuries is not clear.

In a statement, Dayton Public Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli said a staff member was injured while trying to contain the fight, but that she is going to heal and be able to return to work.

Lolli said that students were dismissed early, and that due to the incident tonight’s Meadowdale/Dunbar boys basketball game has been canceled.

“Fighting of any kind is not tolerated in the Dayton Public Schools,” she said. “Students will face discipline and/or legal consequences. The district will continue to monitor student behavior and discipline students appropriately when this type of behavior occurs.”

Multiple cruisers from Dayton and Trotwood police departments were on the scene, as well as Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies.
