Four Cheltenham High School students were removed from the building Wednesday after a "physical altercation," according to the school district.

The incident at the school on Rices Mill Road in Wyncote, Pennsylvania around 7:30 a.m. left a teacher with a concussion, Cheltenham Township Police said.

Police took four students into custody after what investigators called a large fight. Police didn't reveal the ages of the students or what charges they could face.

The school district said in a statement that "additional adults have been assigned to the school to monitor internal and external areas and counselors and representatives from our Student Services Department are also present for additional student support."

All after school activities were scheduled to proceed as normal, the district said.

Members of city council are working to end suspensions in elementary school. Councilmembers Blondell Reynolds Brown and Helen Gym will introduce a resolution on Thursday calling on and urging the School District of Philadelphia to permanently prohibit the suspension of elementary-aged students from first through fifth grades.

It’s an issue that resonates with Sandra Serrano, whose grandson was suspended when he was a first grader. 

“I thought it was a waste of time to do that to a first grader because they would lose the learning on that day,” Serrano said. “They would lose everything and besides it makes us waste some money for somebody to come and take care of them because we have to work.”

The Philadelphia School District has been working to address out of school suspensions across all grades. Last year the district banned the suspension of kindergartners, with some exceptions. A coalition of educational advocates and parental groups pushed for city council to extend the suspension ban for elementary school students.

“There's been a reduction in expulsions, arrests, suspensions and disciplinary actions and all of this reduces that pipeline to prison,” Karyn Lynch, Chief of Student Support Services, said.

While Lynch acknowledged some students have been suspended for bodily harm to another child or adult, some parents say their children have been suspended for non-violent offenses, such as talking out of turn and being disrespectful.

“They’re particularly harmful to black students and students with disabilities who are disproportionately suspended,” Alex Dutton, of the Education Law Center said.

School leaders say they hope the effort to ban elementary-school suspensions also comes with more help.

“I would hope with that resolution there would also be consideration about the resources that would fill the gaps in delivery that we have within our school,” Lynch said.

The Philadelphia School District released the following statement on the resolution.

The District's annual student suspension data continues to decline and demonstrates our commitment to reducing suspensions while improving the environment and safety in our schools.  We said last year we are considering ending suspensions in additional early grades and we continue to look at that possibility.  Our goal is to increase the time a student spends in school, because the more time a student spends in school the greater the likelihood they will read on grade level, graduate, and be prepared for college, career, and life.

A mother and 5-year-old boy from Honduras who had been detained at a Berks County immigration detention facility were put on a flight Wednesday back to their native country, according to Sen. Bob Casey and an immigration attorney.

The two were among 14 "longterm" families held at the controversial Berks County Residential Center outside Reading. They had been detained at the Pennsylvania facility since Dec. 18, 2015, attorney Bridget Cambria said Wednesday afternoon.

The Berks County facility is one of only three detention centers in the country for undocumented immigrant families. The other two are in Texas. The facility, which is run by the county and paid for with federal funds, was scheduled to lose its license to operate with the state of Pennsylvania. But last week, a judge overruled the state’s decision.

Cambria said she and other attorneys were arguing on behalf of the woman and her son before a federal judge on the Eastern District of Pennsylvania when they were notified that Immigration and Customs Enforcement put the two on a plane for Honduras.

"We applied for the child this week who had qualified for a special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS) and brought it to ICE and the courts and we were in court today," Cambria said. "We literally were arguing to include this child while immigration was watching the plane take off."

Casey, the Pennsylvania Democrat, first tweeted about the mom and son about noon in a series of tweets in which he accused the Department of Homeland Security of sending a mother and her young child on "a plane ride that can very likely lead to their death."

He said in another tweet that "the 5yr old's mother witnessed the murder of her cousin in Honduras and was being pursued by gangs."

"They had a final order of removal but it doesn’t change the danger they are facing or that they were held for over a year and a half," Cambria said.

On Tuesday, Casey sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly urging "the immediate release" of four other undocumented mothers and their children who are also being detained at the Berks County facility.

During his Twitter streak about the Honduran mother and child, Casey also called out the Trump administration for how this deportation frames the president's immigration priorities.

The senator then appeared on MSNBC, appearing at times enraged that a woman and young boy could be sent back to one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

He said he'd talked with President Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, by phone, but that messages he left for Kelly at Homeland Security and Thomas Homan, the acting director of ICE.

"Still waiting for those two to call back," Casey said. "I shouldn’t have to make those calls. They shouldn’t be doing this."

He added, "Why don’t they focus on people that present a threat to us? Instead, they are pretty much letting ICE do whatever they want."

A woman switched cell phone carriers to save cash. When her final bill nearly doubled in size, she contacted NBC10 Responds and Harry Hairston.

A young boy is recovering after a tombstone weighing several hundred pounds fell on top of him at a cemetery in Darby Township Monday.

The 8-year-old boy’s mother told NBC10 her son was walking home from school with his sister and a few friends when they went into the Mount Lebanon Cemetery on 1200 N. Bartram Avenue. The children began playing near a tombstone when it fell on top of the boy, according to his mother.

“I don’t know if he actually bumped into it or another one of the kids bumped into him but it ended up falling on him,” she said.

Four responding police officers worked to get the tombstone off of the boy. The child was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where he was treated for a broken femur and a laceration to his liver. He underwent surgery Tuesday afternoon.

“They gotta cast his wrist, possibly his ankle,” his mom said. “They’re going to put a rod in his femur.”

The child remains at the hospital and continues to recover.

One city is making big safety changes after a recent series of shootings. NBC10’s Deanna Durante reports from Chester, Pennsylvania where there will soon be state troopers patrolling the streets.

A state trooper who was fatally shot last week was honored Wednesday at an annual wreath-laying ceremony honoring Delaware State Police officers who have died in the line of duty.

Cpl. Stephen Ballard's name was the last to be called on a roster of 24 troopers who have died since the force was formed in 1923.

Ballard's widow, Louise, laid a single rose at a granite memorial, where 23 other roses had been placed in honor of each of the other troopers. She then hugged troopers who escorted her family to the memorial.

Gov. John Carney, Attorney General Matt Denn, state police superintendent Col. Nathaniel McQueen and Safety and Homeland Security Robert Coupe were among those who spoke.

"We're still trying to come to grips with the tragic events of last week," McQueen said. "As we celebrate our fallen here today, we're leaning on each other."

The somber ceremony was held two days before the funeral for Ballard, who was shot while investigating a suspicious vehicle at a convenience store in Bear.

Ballard's killer, Burgon Sealy Jr., then barricaded himself in his family home near Middletown, firing shots at officers during a 20-hour standoff before he was fatally shot.

Lt. Thomas Brackin, president of the Delaware State Troopers Association, said he hopes officers can take something positive from Ballard's death by remembering to do all they can to keep each other safe.

"By that I mean there's really no routine call," said Brackin.

Brackin also noted the outpouring of community support in response to Ballard's death, but said there's a "false narrative" that portrays law enforcement officers as the bad guys and mitigates the actions of criminals.

He called on the public to recognize "that the men and women who wear these uniforms are human beings who go out every day to do the most difficult job in the world."

Many of the troopers honored Wednesday died in vehicle accidents, while a few were shot and some died of natural causes while still on active duty. One trooper died of AIDS-related complications after receiving a tainted blood transfusion during surgery for injuries he sustained while rescuing a suicidal man from a bridge.

Wednesday's ceremony at state police headquarters was followed by a similar tribute on Legislative Mall for the broader law enforcement community in Delaware.

State senator Scott Wagner, a candidate running for Pennsylvania governor, snatched a cellphone from someone who was filming his campaign event on Tuesday night in York, Pennsylvania. NBC10’s Keith Jones has the details.

The hit Netflix show '13 Reasons Why’ depicts a young girl’s suicide. It is now receiving backlash from mental health experts and schools across the country. NBC10’s Randy Gyllenhaal explains why some schools say the show is not suitable for teenagers.

Two teenagers have asked the Downingtown Area School District to issue them an apology after the school’s dean of academics and student life berated them during an anti-abortion protest.

Conner and Lauren Haines, 16 and 19 years old respectively, filmed Dr. Zack Ruff screaming while they demonstrated against abortion. The heated exchange occurred for about 20 minutes as the teens and school administrator argued about whether they could legally protest outside Downingtown STEM Academy.

Ruff “willfully, intentionally and aggressively approached within inches of Conner’s face and eventually attempted to rip a sign out of his hands,” read a letter drafted by the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the siblings.

Many parents and students have accused the pro-life protesters of obstructing traffic and distracting drivers with graphic images of abortions. Ruff supporters have allegedly sent “hundreds of messages” to the Haines since the incident took place on April 21.

“Some of those comments were threatening and vulgar. This hostility to the First Amendment by the next generation may be even more dangerous than that of a school,” the letter read.

Conner Haines denied harassing drivers, but did admit to displaying disturbing content in protest of the “holocaust of abortion.”

The Haines are not students within the school district. They are asking for an apology and guarantee they can demonstrate outside STEM without being turned away.

Ruff is on administrative leave pending a formal investigation by the school district. An online petition in support of Ruff has now garnered more than 41,000 signatures in favor of keeping Ruff on staff. Parents and community members also gathered Wednesday for a meeting with the schoolboard to discuss his fate. The majority of the people who attended showed their support.

"The way he acted was not appropriate for the audience," Maisy Meyer, a student at the school, said. "But I believe that it was completely out of intention of protecting his students."

Only three people during the meeting argued against Ruff, including Bob Byrne, a parent of a student at the school.

"He behaved in a way that was bigoted," Byrne said. "He certainly was closeminded."

The District is currently reviewing surveillance video of the incident. A disciplinary hearing will be held once the investigation is complete.

Officials at a Philadelphia Catholic High School are investigating after hateful messages were found in the bathroom.

A student at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls sent NBC10 photos of the messages which read, “Whites Rule America” and “I love Hitler!”

Officials at the school say they immediately closed the bathroom until the messages were removed by maintenance. The photos were later shared on social media however.

Officials sent a letter to parents informing them an internal school investigation was underway and that disciplinary action would be taken against the people responsible. Officials also say they will have an open dialogue with students about what happened.

“That type of behavior is not acceptable in our school community under any circumstance,” a spokesperson for the school wrote to parents. “Little Flower takes pride in its long history of being a welcoming and diverse community which empowers young women to recognize and develop their God-given potential.”

“We feel it is important to keep our school community informed of issues directly affecting our students. Please know that the safety and well-being of your daughters is our top priority here at Little Flower.”
