The principal at William Penn Senior High School was restraining an unruly student Tuesday when he was attacked by the boy's mother, who jumped on his back and punched him in the head and face, police said.

Valisa Ali Scribner, 37, of the 700 block of Parkway Boulevard is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and criminal mischief. Her son is charged with one count of aggravated assault. He is in the York County Juvenile Detention Center.

Shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday, the 16-year-old was brought to Principal Jesse Rawls Jr.'s office for being disorderly in class, said York City Police Officer Kim Hibner, a student resource officer.

Scribner was irate and cursing the staff when she arrived at the school, according to court records. She demanded Rawls let her son leave school, but Rawls said they had to wait for police. She became more irate and tried to take her son out of Rawls' office, court records said.

The boy then became enraged, grabbed a stapler off Rawls' desk and threatened to hit him in the head. As Rawls approached, the boy threw the stapler, which broke after it struck a wall, where it left a hole, police said.

Rawls restrained the student on the floor, and the mother jumped on Rawls' back, police said. Scribner punched Rawls, knocking off his glasses and breaking them, police and court records state.

Scribner also hit Lizette Santiago, a hall monitor who tried to intervene, in the side of the head, police said.

Rawls, 35, who has been principal since 2005, said he does not want the attack to reflect negatively on students or the district. Rawls was a school principal in Harlem, N.Y. He was also a state wrestling champion in 1991 at Susquehanna Township High School and had a successful wrestling career at the University of Michigan.
"Things happen. It was one student in 1,500. We have a lot of good students," said Rawls, who has been in education for 12 years.


Rawls declined further comment, deferring to Supt. Tresa Diggs.

Diggs said the student faces suspension and whatever additional disciplinary action is deemed appropriate. The student is new, having recently moving to York.

"This is alarming to me. You never like to hear about something like that happening. We want our employees to be safe in the building," Diggs said.

She also said the attack does not reflect on the community, parents or students.

"In all my 37 years in education, I have not witnessed anything like this. It was very unusual," Diggs said. "We do not tolerate this behavior. We will not tolerate this behavior."

Not sure if she wanted the kid so she could rip his head off, or just lost it on the principal.

Here's from this week in NJ.

Teacher and football coach, played ball for Navy and did 10 years of service on a battleship. He's walking in the hall and cat fight erupts. He immediately steps and girl No. 1 off girl No.2. She was on the floor on top of No.2. In pulling No. 1 off he held her at the waist, kinda lifting her off, then held her back while she continued to try to get No.2 Girl No. 1 gets suspended. All above the above was obtained from news folks interviewing kids who were withnesses.

At the end of class, the local PD shows up and handcuffs said teacher for 4th degree sexual assault. 4th degree is touching or rubbing for sexual gratification. Charges well files by the father of girl No.1 who happens to be the chief of police in town. Charges were levied by the county prosecutor without a single interview of the witnesses.

The student and parents are livid. According to the students, there was no "touching" of any body parts other he held her at the waist.
And according to the student testimony there was no attempt for sexual gratification. The guy was an admired teacher.

In New Jersey, prosecutors are political appointees. The prosecutor has blood ties to one of the top democrat politocos in the state that's been arrested for bribery.
Now he's got an arrest on his record because the prosecutor failed to interview anyone before he made the arrest. This is same prosecutor that charged the administrators at Rider University for contributing to the alcohol death of a student.
