BATON ROUGE — Scotlandville High School Principal Paul Jackson returned to school Monday morning after being placed on leave following a fight on the school's campus, District 2 Councilman Anthony Kenney said.

Kenney thanked East Baton Rouge Parish School Board Superintendent LaMont Cole for reinstating Jackson, who's served as the school's leader for more than a decade.

Kenney said that conversations with Cole highlighted the key role Jackson played in the Scotlandville community.

"These conversations reflected a shared commitment to putting students first and ensuring the school community continues to thrive," Kenney said in a news release. "The success of Scotlandville requires all of us. When our community comes together, we create an environment where our students can excel."
