The Hazelwood School District issued a statement condemning bullying and fighting in the community
‘Hazelwood School District offers our deepest sympathies to all involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.’
The statement called on community members to respect the families of those involved and ‘commit to helping work towards the betterment of our entire community’.
The district recently came under fire for disenrolling more than three dozen middle school students in late February and early March.
The school district’s public relations director, Jordyn Elston, said STLPR that students were kicked out due to ‘expired residence information’.
Of the 40 students who received letters informing them of the district’s decision, 38 were re-enrolled within a week of providing updated information, the district said.
