Authorities spoke privately to school board members for two hours about what happened when a fifth grader died from injuries suffered in a fight at a South Carolina elementary school.
But the Colleton County School Board gave out no additional information about the death of Raniya Wright after Thursday’s meeting, citing student privacy laws and the ongoing criminal investigation.
Wright was knocked unconscious Monday at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro during a fight with another fifth grader. She died in the hospital two days later.
The other student involved in the fight has been suspended. The student’s name, sex and age have not been released. No charges have been filed.
