Superintendent Responds: “Zero Tolerance” for Parent Brawls
Following the madness, West Memphis School District Superintendent Eric Foister wasted no time addressing the issue. He said there is “zero tolerance” for the “unacceptable” behavior seen in the video. In an official district statement, he didn’t sugarcoat anything:
“The district is aware of an incident involving parents that occurred today at Faulk Elementary School. The safety and security of our students, staff, and school campuses remain our top priority. We have zero tolerance for any behavior — by parents, students, staff, or visitors — that disrupts the learning environment or threatens the wellbeing of anyone on school grounds.”
And the message kept going:
“Such actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The district is fully cooperating with the West Memphis Police Department and will actively support efforts to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and secure environment at all of our schools.”
Whew. Sounds like the school isn’t just brushing this under the rug.
What Started the Fight? Police Investigating Viral Footage
As of now, no one knows exactly what triggered the hallway fight. Folks on social media are already speculating — from petty arguments to old beefs resurfacing — but West Memphis Police are officially reviewing all video evidence to figure it out.
According to authorities, they plan to examine the viral clips and determine who should be facing charges. And considering how wild the footage is, someone’s definitely getting booked.
“We’re currently reviewing footage and witness statements. Any individuals identified engaging in violent or disruptive behavior could face criminal charges,” said a rep from West Memphis PD.
