Several students witnessed the fight in the hallway, and at least a couple of students videotaped it.
One Framingham High staff member is heard asking students “to put their phones away.”
Another male staff member then comes in, and breaks up the fight.
“We have a code of character conduct at the high school. When incidents happen we look at that code. This fight would require the most severe action under the code,” said Superintendent of Schools Bob Tremblay.

“The high school administration is working with police. It is 5 p.m. and we have already been cooperating with police, and contacting both families,” said Tremblay.
“This is egregious. We expect better from our students,” said Tremblay.
The “N word” is used in the video. Both girls are believed to be not white, but that has not been confirmed by authorities.
