FARMERSVILLE, Texas — Multiple students have been charged in a hazing incident at Farmersville High School, district officials have confirmed.
In a press release, Farmersville ISD officials said the district's police department had identified eight students who were being charged for the alleged hazing incidents at the high school. More information about the alleged incidents was not released.
All evidence gathered from the Farmersville ISD Police Department's investigation will be sent to the Collin County District Attorney for processing, the district said.
"It is important to note that school disciplinary actions are separate from criminal charges," the district said in its release. "School discipline will be individualized, taking into account the seriousness of the offense, the student's prior disciplinary record, statutory requirements and any relevant disabilities."
"We continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of all our students as we move forward in addressing this matter," the release concludes.
WFAA has reached out to the district and local authorities for more information.
