Eller was reportedly seen on video alongside students watching the melee. One student got hurt, prompting the fight to stop.
Eller then allegedly made a noise encouraging the fight to continue, WESH-TV reported. The students began to fight again.
The chaos stopped when a third student got hurt and Eller broke it up, the news report said.
"It was reported that the teacher allegedly played a role in allowing students to fight on our campus…," school Principal Marina Saporito-Middleton said in a letter to parents. "There is an active police investigation…I can tell you that the teacher has been placed on administrative leave and currently not allowed on campus."
