Mustang Daily: Walkout Investigation and Local Events

Here is a quick look at what’s happening around Mustang today, from student activism at the high school to a few chances for teens and job‑seekers to plug in.

Police investigate claims of pepper spray at student walkout

Mustang police are investigating a report that some Mustang High School students were pepper‑sprayed during a walkout protesting federal immigration enforcement tactics. The demonstration happened Thursday near the 500 block of East State Highway 152, when dozens of students left campus during the lunch period.

According to police, the report of pepper spray came in after the fact and is still being reviewed. Investigators have not released details about who might have used the spray or whether any students required medical treatment, but they say the case remains open.

District stresses supervision and attendance rules

In a message to families, Mustang Public Schools emphasized that the walkout was not school‑sponsored and that classes continued as normal for students who stayed on campus. Staff members were dispatched to supervise those who left the building so the situation remained orderly.

The district also reminded parents that students who walked off campus and did not return by the end of the lunch period would have their absences handled under the normal attendance policy and student code of conduct. Officials framed the response as an effort to balance student expression with safety and consistent expectations.

Teen hangout at the library and spring career fair

Looking ahead, the Mustang Public Library is hosting a free “Teen Kickback” on Thursday, February 12, at 4:30 p.m. for students in grades six through twelve. The event is designed as a relaxed after‑school hangout where local teens can spend time together in a safe, supervised space.

The school district is also promoting the Mustang Public Schools Career Fair, set for Thursday, March 12, at the Mustang Education Resource Center. The evening event will highlight openings across the district, from classroom roles to support positions, and is aimed at anyone interested in working with local schools.

Together, these stories paint a picture of a community that is both navigating tense national issues and investing in spaces where students and families can learn, work, and connect close to home.
