East Bay high school reviewing safety measures after three got onto campus, attacked student

SAN RAMON — Officials at a high school here continue to review their school safety systems and protocol, more than a week after a group of high-school age teens entered the campus and attacked a student.

The incident happened May 8 at California High. Officials said the suspects — who were not students at the school — had help getting on campus unnoticed.

“We are extremely dismayed that some of our own students allegedly helped the perpetrators enter the Cal High campus without permission,” San Ramon Unified School District spokesperson Tammy Herley said in a statement. We express our gratitude to the staff member in the classroom who intervened.”

San Ramon and Dublin police worked together to identify the three suspects who came onto the campus but said they will not comment about any criminal sanction because the suspects are juveniles.

Officials did not say how badly the student was injured. The student and the student’s family are receiving support from the school staff, Herley said.

A math teacher confronted the suspects.

“Without question, no one is allowed on campus without going through the proper protocols,” Herley wrote. “Our campus safety measures rely on staff, students and parents following the protocols to maintain the safety of our schools. This breach of policy is unacceptable and has our full attention.”
