"Our prayers are with Mrs. Rogers and her family, but also the family of the student, those in the classroom at the time, and the entire Collins campus, our school district, and our community," Superintendent Stephanie Howell said. "This has been an extremely upsetting and difficult situation as you might imagine, but we take the safety not only of our students, but also of our staff very seriously. Both remain a priority for Corsicana ISD."
Out of caution, the school was placed in a "hold" status following the incident, while first responders tended to Rogers' care.
