The superintendent said she placed the teacher on leave and pledged support to the student’s family.

While District Superintendent Sandra Lyon called the incident of a teacher laying hands on a student "utterly alarming," other Santa Monica High School students who were in the classroom are saying that the teacher was trying to keep the student from selling drugs in the classroom, that the student’s box cutter posed a threat, and that teacher Mark Black was simply defending himself.
He wasn't trying to hurt him. He just wanted him to stop and he was trying to be a teacher and help," said student Kylan Townsend.
Santa Monica's school superintendent has apologized for comments she made after placing a popular science teacher on leave for getting into a physical altercation with a student. In a statement sent to the “community” over the weekend, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon acknowledged that her remarks about the teacher and wrestling coach have “caused great anger.” “There is concern that my statement reflected a pre-judgment of the teacher’s conduct prior to completion of an investigation,” she said. “There is also concern about my failure to address the conduct of one or more students who were involved in the incident. In retrospect, I understand how my statement has created these concerns. I apologize …”
In her statement Saturday, Lyon said she is “committed to a thorough and independent investigation of what transpired at [Santa Monica High School] on Friday that fully respects the rights of all involved, including teachers and students.”
But she also defended her action, saying that “Placing the teacher involved in this incident on leave pending completion of a full investigation is a matter of standard policy and practice; it in no way prejudices the outcome of the investigation.”
The superintendent said she placed the teacher on leave and pledged support to the student’s family.

If the people of Texas had any testis they'd do something about the boarder instead of being afraid to offend anyone who speaks out about illegal immigration. If there were illegal immigrants standing on my corner poaching jobs they'd be run out of town.
