Howard High School resumes classes after student's death

Published April 25, 2016

Classes at Howard High School in Maryland are set to resume after a 16-year-old student was killed in a fight at the school.

Wilmington City Councilwoman Sherry Dorsey Walker tells The News Journal (http://delonline.us/1rcaAGb) that Monday marks the first day of regular classes since Thursday, when Amy Joyner-Francis died after a fight in one of the school's restrooms. She says grief counselors will be available for students.

Students returned to school Friday for a shortened day for similar counseling.

Wilmington police say the sophomore was involved in a fight with several female students. Police have not disclosed a possible motive and no charges have been filed in the case.

A community meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday at Stubbs Elementary School, which is next to the high school.
