YISD puts secondary students on hold

An unidentified teacher’s medical emergency led to Yorktown Secondary Campus students being placed on a brief hold in place Wednesday, May 6.

Yorktown Secondary Campus Principal Laura Patek said the hold was necessary so emergency responders could access the area and assist the staff member safely. EMS arrived quickly and when the teacher was transported by ambulance for treatment the hold was lifted and school resumed for the day, she said.

“We had a teacher that fell and hit his head on some concrete,” Patek said. “He will be fine.”
