Fox Superintendent Dianne Critchlow tells Patch she believes the same student was responsible for both assaults. She said the child may have had a birthday between the reports or that the age of the child was reported wrong by police.

"The child is struggling," Critchlow said. "We are working with him, and I know his parents are working with him and the school."

Critchlow said she did not know if the same teacher was assaulted in the incidents or if it was a teacher or teacher's aide. She added that she did not know what kind of assaults occurred.
