School is back along with the fights as juveniles are back in the confined space of classrooms and buses. Less than one week into the 2013 school year, Eunice High School saw its first expulsions because of student violence. Police responded to an early morning call from Eunice High School last week as fighting erupted between juveniles. Police Chief Ronald Dies said that the call resulted in no arrests. “The school handled it by expelling three students and suspending one,” Dies said last Friday. “Why should they get punished twice with us arresting them? We’re not supposed to baby sit the kids in school.” Mitchell Fontenot, principal of Eunice High School, could not be reached for comment. Later that same day, Eunice police responded to another fight that involved juveniles, according to police. At 4:05 pm last Thursday, a call was made to the Eunice police. A disturbance on a school bus was reported after two juveniles began fighting. According to police radio logs, both juveniles were taken off the bus by police who then contacted the parents of the juveniles. Police waited with the juveniles until the phoned parents came to retrieve them. The log entry made it unclear whether these two students attended Eunice Junior High or Central Middle. Officials from both schools could not be reached for comment or made no comment on the matter. It is also unknown if the two students fighting on the bus were suspended or expelled. Suspensions and expulsions are not the only disciplinary procedure involving juveniles. Eunice Deputy Chief of Police Varden Guillory said that juveniles can be arrested. “It depends if there is a serious injury or not,” Guillory said. “If someone needed medical attention then we can go into the school and investigate. And we can arrest someone if there was a serious injury involved in a fight at one of the schools.”
