Are those teachers brawling at a Broward high school? Watch what happened on campus

Miami Herald File

A brawl this week between two Dillard High School teachers was caught on camera. Now, the Broward school district says it has opened an investigation into the fight.

Social media video shows two teachers on the ground as bystanders yell, “Stop it.” According to social media posts, the woman in the brown skirt lay on the brawling teachers trying to stop the fight.

Fort Lauderdale police say no charges were filed because no one wanted to prosecute.

School Board statement

In a statement, the Broward School District said: “There was an altercation at the end of the day on Monday, June 5, involving two teachers at Dillard 6-12. The situation was safely resolved.”

It’s not known what caused the fight or what discipline the teachers may face.

The district said said its “special investigative unit” is looking into the fight at the school, 2501 NW 11th St. in Fort Lauderdale.

School Board member Debra Hixon said she’s disappointed by what she saw.

“We obviously want our teachers to model the behavior we’d like our students to see, so it’s very disappointing and very inappropriate for teachers to have an altercation especially on campus,” Hixon said.
