Overview
- A recess fight among three students escalated when summoned parents arrived and, according to police records and witness accounts, joined the aggression against teachers and administrators.
- The director was treated in hospital for leg trauma, while two teachers reported blows and scratches, processed workplace-injury leave through ART, and chose not to file formal complaints.
- Classes were suspended on Thursday and a patrol car was posted at the gate; school leaders met families as some parents demanded reopening, with a return to activity expected on Friday.
- Escuela Primaria Nº80 has a documented history of serious incidents, and the episode follows other recent school violence in the province, including at La Plata’s Normal Nº2 and a case in Mar del Plata.
- Provincial education and security ministries did not respond to media queries, and specialists link the surge in school aggression to broader social factors and call for coordinated state intervention.
