Students took to social media on Wednesday to display their feelings about their principal not being on campus while the investigation into what occurred on Monday continues.
In a statement to Channel 2 Action News, the district said the following:
“Yes, I understand that is on a lot of students’ social media. It wasn’t a protest. It was students who wanted to show personal support for Mr. Allen. They went to the stadium during lunch periods, between about 12:30 p.m. until a little before 1 p.m., and then returned to class.”
