Oak Creek Superintendent Releases Statement On Facebook Videos Of Students Fighting

OAK CREEK - Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District Superintendent Tim Culver released a statement Tuesday afternoon after someone tipped the district off that an unnamed Facebook page was posting fights of videos among students, some on school property.

Culver says some Oak Creek teenagers have posted a "handful" of fights that have occurred over the last 18 months. The district has viewed all the videos and documented each case that occurred on school grounds and say all students involved in the fighting have already been suspended or expelled and referred to police for possible charges.

Culver stressed that the district takes such conduct very seriously and was quick to point out that the overwhelming majority of the 2,100 students at Oak Creek High School weren't involved in the fighting. He said the number of reported fights is even down this year, thanks to the school's work with School Resource Officers.

He urged parents and students who have any other concerns about violence or any other matter to contact the district here.

The district is continuing to investigate who is posting the videos to Facebook. They have requested Facebook take down the page but Facebook has not complied.
