The investigation into the removal of a Jewish student group's photo from an East Brunswick school yearbook found no evidence it was done on purpose or out of malicefound the omission was caused by negligence and carelessness, but was not done on purpose or out of malice, the school district announced Wednesday.
“I conclude that the use of the incorrect photograph was not purposeful, but rather was a highly unfortunate error," Yaacov Brisman of Brisman Law, who conducted the probe, said in the report."I have no basis to find that she acted out of any animus, racial, religious, or political, towards Jewish or Muslim students.”
The district said Wednesday it plans more oversight over the yearbook production and review process and that it will also launch a “tolerance training program” next school year.
