COFFEEVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Some high school students in Mississippi have protested what they say is a school district’s failure to renew certain contracts.
WTVA-TV reports many Coffeeville High School students protested Monday what they believe is the failure of the Coffeeville School District to renew several coaches’ contracts. The school district described the situation as a “personnel issue” of which they cannot discuss by law.
Principal Johnnie Dudley says the students had left the campus and were asked to return to class for the remainder of the day’s planned instruction.
Dudley says school officials respect their students’ right to advocate for causes that are important to them and support their effort to do so in an authorized and orderly manner while at school.
Officials say a counselor is available to talk with students.
