Police Called for Fight at Drury

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — School officials say a police presence at Drury High School on Monday morning was related to a fight between students stemming from an "incident" over the weekend. 
 
The high and middle school went into lockdown for a brief period as police and school administrators dealt with the problem. 
 
Superintendent Timothy Callahan provided the public schools' official statement, which was sent out to the school community. It does not detail the root of the conflict but says there will be consequences to the students' behavior. Some parents have posted that one of the students brought a knife to school and that there was a "large" police presence. 
 
Good Morning Drury Staff, Students, and Families,
An incident in the community over the weekend led to a conflict prior to the start of school at Drury High School this morning between two or more high school students. School staff called for a "stay put" and then a brief "lockdown" to ensure that the confict was contained and addressed promptly. The North Adams Police also arrived on the scene to ensure the safety of everyone in the school.
 
School leaders will provide consequences to students involved in the conflict as outlined in our district-wide Code of Conduct, Character, and Support and also provide regular support for students to build pro-social behaviors and minimize incidents of verbal and physical escalation.
 
Unsafe actions will not be tolerated in our buildings, and we appreciate your support in ensuring that our focus can remain on classroom teaching and learning.
