A North Platte High School student is facing a criminal charge following an argument with a teacher.

Shortly after 11:30, The Post was made aware by students at NPHS that they had been told to leave a classroom by the North Platte Police Department’s School Resource Officer and school administration, during class, following a disturbance involving a fellow student.

According to Investigator John Deal, at around 11:30, a female student became involved in a verbal argument with a teacher.

“The student failed to follow guidance and instruction from the teacher, principal and school resource officer Jeremiah Johnson,” Deal said.

The decision to clear the classroom was made in an attempt to not further disrupt the school function, according to Deal.

Once other students were cleared from the classroom, the disruptive student was taken into custody, cited for disturbing the peace and was released to a parent.

Class resumed as normal as soon as the girl was removed.  Police say the other students were never in any danger.

It is unknown if the girl faces any disciplinary action from NPHS.
