Which of these covers the incident at JLS school where a teacher miscarried her baby due to injury from a student, another teacher was injured along with the student?

Excellent question, @Bystander.
Maybe PASD didn't report it to the police like they didn't report it to the school board which learned about it from a teacher's question about when / if violent kids would be removed from school.

According to the article where teachers and student were injured, it was reported to the police at 3:15 p.m. Are crimes committed by minors excluded from the police report?

All things considered and according to the police report, Palo Alto is a pretty safe place to live compared to other U.S. cities. Count your blessings.
