Parent attacks teacher after mask dispute on first day of school in California district, official says

The teacher suffered "lacerations on his face, some bruising on his a face and a pretty good knot on the back of his head," the Amador County Unified School District superintendent said.

A parent attacked a teacher following a mask dispute on the first day of school, a California superintendent said.

The incident occurred about an hour after the first day ended at Sutter Creek Elementary School in Amador County, NBC affiliate KCRA of Sacramento reported.

In a letter to families, Amador County Unified School District Superintendent Torie Gibson wrote: "As the first day of school comes and goes, there are always hiccups along the way, especially during this trying time.

"Unfortunately, a parent took it upon himself to verbally assault a principal that led to a serious physical altercation between him and a teacher as the teacher intended to protect the principal."

Gibson told KCRA that the fight started when a parent who was frustrated with the school's mask mandate saw his daughter walk out of the building with a face covering. After the parent got into an argument with the principal, a male teacher intervened, the superintendent said. The situation escalated into a physical fight, leaving the teacher "bleeding," according to Gibson.

The teacher suffered "lacerations on his face, some bruising on his a face and a pretty good knot on the back of his head," she told KCRA. He was treated at the hospital and later released Wednesday.

It was unclear if the parent sustained any injuries, but he was banned from being on campus, according to KCRA.

All students are required to wear a mask while indoors unless they have a medical exemption, according to the school district's policy, which is in line with the California Department of Public Health's mandate. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously recommended that all children wear masks when they return to school this year.

Rambaran has since been arrested, Vargo told Insider in a statement.
