Baltimore County Schools is taking action after a spike in violence at one of the county’s largest high schools.

Superintendent Myriam Rogers said additional resources have been added to Woodlawn High School.

Over the past three years, according to state data, Woodlawn has seen a 77% increase in student suspensions or expulsions for attacks/threats or fighting.

“We have put in the resources necessary and try to do everything that we can to be proactive,” Rogers said. “But when students make bad choices, we will respond to those choices immediately and swiftly according to our code of conduct.”

One student, Morgan, whom FOX45 News is identifying only by her first name, said she was attacked in October in math class by a student she said she barely knew.

FOX45 obtained video posted online after the attack. Morgan said the student in the video was the attacker who was holding hair that was ripped out of Morgan’s scalp during the fight. Her family filed criminal charges, and in February, the student was convicted of second-degree assault in juvenile court.

But even after that conviction, the attacker was back in Woodlawn — walking the halls with Morgan.

“It’s terrible. It really is terrible,” said Ta’Rae Little, Morgan’s mother. “Every day she goes to that school. Every day.”

Rogers said BCPS has a code of conduct with clear expectations and consequences. But she said violence often originates outside of the schoolhouse. The family says that was not the case with Morgan, but Rogers is calling on the community to be more proactive and tell the school about potential conflicts.

Rogers continued, “We encourage them to reach out directly to the school. The school does a great job, whether it’s through the counselors or whether it’s through the teachers or administration of, intervening when they have the information.”

Since this family’s story first aired, Little has withdrawn her daughter from learning in-person at Woodlawn. Morgan will finish her senior year learning virtually.

“There was nothing done for my child safety whatsoever,” said Little.

The Randallstown Chapter of the NAACP saw Morgan’s story, and reached out, asking the 18-year-old to apply for an NAACP college scholarship. The family told Project Baltimore the application has been submitted. Winners will be announced in May.
