School administrators arrested in student 'fight club' case
MONTVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A school superintendent, a principal, and an assistant principal have been arrested for not telling authorities about a student "fight club" at a Connecticut high school.
State police on Thursday charged Montville Superintendent Brian Levesque, Montville High School Principal Jeffrey Theodoss and Assistant Principal Tatiana Patten with failing to report abuse as they are required to do under the law.
A former substitute teacher at the school was arrested last week and charged with overseeing the "fight club." He pleaded not guilty to charges including reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a minor.
Police began investigating in December after a student reported being beaten at school.
