The incident happened Saturday night at California High School, located at 9870 Broadmoor Drive in San Ramon, according to Superintendent CJ Cammack. In a letter to district employees and families, Cammack said the assistant principal approached two students in the parking lot and was physically assaulted by one of them.
The students left the area after the incident, but San Ramon police took one of them into custody later the same night.
Cammack said the students do not attend Cal High, but are enrolled at another school in the district.
A police department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for additional details about the case, including the arrested student’s age and city of residence.
The district is cooperating with the criminal investigation, Cammack said, adding that it will conduct its own probe and “pursue all disciplinary consequences to the fullest extent permissible by law.”
“We want to be clear that, in no uncertain terms, this conduct will not be tolerated at Cal High or at any school in SRVUSD,” the superintendent said in the letter. “We care deeply about the safety and well-being of our students, as well as all of our staff.”
The incident, Cammack added, is “not a reflection of the outstanding character and conduct of our student population at Cal High or in SRVUSD as a whole.”
“As we shared directly with the Cal High community, we all have a collective responsibility to care for one another and ensure that each and every site in SRVUSD is a place where all members of our community are safe, both physically and emotionally,” Cammack said.
Anyone with information related to the incident can contact the police department at 925-973-2700.
