Calabasas High School administrators barred eight baseball players from practicing last week as they investigated an alleged hazing incident, according to Dan Stepenosky, assistant superintendant of the Las Virgenes Unified School District.
On Monday, eight players were given five-game suspensions for their participation in the incident.
Stepenosky said the school followed proper procedures in informing police and child protective services authorities.
The incident comes after the Los Angeles Unified School District reassigned six employees from Taft last week over an alleged hazing incident involving students from the boys’ volleyball team.
