While the repercussions of the drowning of a Park seventh-grader two months ago are not yet clear, the results of a recently released police report allow a few conclusions to be made about changes that might happen.

The investigation, released by the St. Louis Park police, cites interviews of several witnesses, including fellow seventh grade students as well as Jim Bigot, the physical education teacher who was present during the incident as evidence for the events that transpired.

Abdullahi Charif, 12, needed to be rescued from the pool at the Middle School following a third hour physical education class after being discovered unconscious at the bottom of the deep end Feb. 27. He was pronounced dead a few days later.

According to school district officials, Bigot pulled Charif out of the pool and provided CPR until further help arrived, before being placed on paid administrative leave and interviewed for the police investigation. However, due to lack of evidence, no charges will be filed against Bigot or any individual.

Superintendent Rob Metz said the full extent of changes that could be implemented at the high school and the district levels will not be known until the conclusion of district’s own separate investigation at a later time. Regardless, he said the response from the support groups was beneficial to students across the district.

“Two groups in particular, Growing Through Grief and Paws for Learning has been very helpful,” Metz said. “They have been very prompt every time and are always a phone call away if needed.”

The investigation states that Bigot’s class consisted of 28 students. While the district recommends teachers have an up-to-date certification in water safety instruction, the police report indicates Bigot may not have had an updated certification.

Cathy Taylor, the aquatics coordinator for St. Louis Park Community Education, said that the Community Ed program recently started increasing their lifeguard presence at district pools out of good practice to monitor the activity of children in the pools.

“I have to pull out or rescue at least one kid every other week,” Taylor said. “So it never hurts to have an extra pair of eyes on the water.”

According to student witnesses at the scene, throughout the class many boys participated in a game of “King of the Hill” in which participants grappled for a position atop a large floating raft in the middle of the pool.

Students would often fall back into the pool from the raft, and classmates stated in the report that at least once Charif was pushed into the water, despite the knowledge among his classmates that Charif possessed little to no ability to swim.

The Charif family declined to comment.
