28 students suspended following Albany High fights
ALBANY — At least 28 students will be suspended after a spate of fights at Albany High School Thursday that started in the halls and eventually spilled into the street.
The brawls prompted a large police response and resulted in the arrest of 10 students, who were charged with unlawful assembly Thursday night. Six of them will be charged as juveniles and four will be charged as adults, based on their age, police said.
School was closed Friday so district officials and police could further investigate the incident and identify other students involved.
The identified students are now facing suspension and won't be allowed in school all next week while a disciplinary review process gets under way, said district spokesman Ron Lesko. That process may result in more suspensions of anywhere from five days to the rest of the school year, he said, depending on the student's role in the fights.
