CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) | A Wyoming school district says it has replaced the principal of a Cheyenne junior high school where racist and anti-gay flyers were posted a month ago.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that Laramie County District 1 Superintendent Boyd Brown declined comment on the details of the principal’s departure, citing personnel matters.
The Cheyenne school has been the focus of community attention since March 26, when homophobic and racist flyers were handed out and put up in the hallway by students. The principal was criticized for his response to the incident and what some said was a longtime culture of bullying at the school.
An investigation is being conducted to determine whether a pattern of harassment exists at the school, and if administrators failed to follow policy when addressing incidents.
