Parents are concerned about the violence at Ribault High School.
Action News Jax uncovered videos of multiple fights at the school, one during a pep rally and the other after the rally in the parking lot.
Two fights in one day. It’s something that has parent Altovise Tanner worried.
“It’s always something going on over here at Ribault High School,” Tanner said.
Tanner said she’s had enough, especially after she said a man she identifies as the assistant principal, threw her daughter down some bleachers before he tried to break up a fight.
“Mr. Thomas went up to her friend and asked him did he throw a bottle. He told him no. Mr. Thomas put his hands on him, he was about to fight Mr. Thomas,” Tanner said. "My daughter was not fighting and she was trying to stop her friend from fighting."
The video also shows the moment a student grabbed the administrator and threw him down the bleachers and then students attacked him.
“From my understanding, they attacked him, when they seen him throw my daughter down those bleachers,” Tanner said.
That fight led to another fight outside in the parking lot, involving a group of students.
“It’s out of hand. Yes it is, very much. It’s just too much. They need to be investigated. Somebody need to do something about this school,” Tanner said.
Action News Jax called and emailed Duval County Public Schools multiple times Friday afternoon. They did confirm the incident.
They released this statement:
"A physical altercation occurred at the Ribault High School today. The event is still under investigation by District officials and Duval County School Police, and may result in student disciplinary action by the District."
