Roy High School says it will enforce sanctions on its students, including required instruction on appropriate conduct, after video emerged of students exhibiting racist behavior during a basketball game in January. 1/2
Roy High says it will enforce sanctions on its students, including required instruction on appropriate conduct.
“As a school, we recognize and acknowledge our behavior has been harmful to others,” reads a letter from Roy High Principal Michael Martini announcing the school’s response. “We sincerely apologize to Hunter High and any other communities that have been impacted by these actions.” Three parents who spoke to The Tribune said a Hunter mom and a coach informed Roy administrators during the game again this year. But they were brushed off.
As a result, Roy High students in the fan section will be required to sit on the upper section of the stands — as opposed to court side — for the next two home games. They will also not be allowed to “taunt or make any type of animal noise or any other cheer/chant that is meant to bait, anger, embarrass, ridicule or demean others.”And all student will receive instruction on appropriate cheering at games, as well as be required to “participate in restorative measures.
