A Flagler Palm Coast High School student was expelled by the School Board Tuesday, June 19, for getting into a fight on a school bus.

The student (No. 1800043802) “engaged in a verbal confrontation with another student” after getting “bumped” by the other student, according to School Board staff. A teacher responded to the physical altercation but had to remove the student from the bus several times, since the student came back up the steps to continue the fight several times after being removed.

Video footage also caught the student strike the teacher in the face, while the teacher attempted to break up the fight.

The student served an extended suspension and will return to school next year, with a recommendation that the student be removed from public transportation.
