The Coatesville resident who emailed the videos said that the “hands-off policy has turned our schools into a warzone.”

However, Taschner said that the security and faculty do end fights. Staff members are seen discontinuing the fights in some of the videos submitted to the Daily Local News.

“I want to assure you that our police officers, security guards, administrators are indeed instructed to break up fights, and an employee would never be reprimanded, fired, or have their job impacted in any way if they report a concern about fighting or anything else, for that matter,” Taschner said. “Similarly, our teachers and staff are supported when they elect to step in to quell a disturbance.”

She echoed Chenger that the district is working with Hogan’s office and law enforcement to provide recommendations.

“Be assured, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive and welcoming learning environment and the high school administration will not tolerate acts of violence on our campus,” Taschner said.

She said the district administrators are considering future changes for the 2016-17 school year. For example, one change is limiting the passage of students from the 9-10 Center to the high school to reduce traffic and lessen the chance for student confrontation, she said.

It was not immediately known how the resident obtained the videos. The district said for privacy reasons for the students, such videos are not released by the district.

The videos showing violence at the school was the No. 1 trending topic on Facebook on Thursday.
