On Thursday, the Madison County School District (MCSD) addressed what school officials called “a recent social media post circulating online that appears to involve a district staff member using a racial slur.”
In a social media post to Facebook around 12:30 p.m., the school district shared a statement from Superintendent Dr. Karen Pickles, who said school officials are taking the matter extremely seriously as “the language depicted in the post is unacceptable and stands in direct opposition to the core values of our district.”
MCSD went on to reveal that a formal investigation into the incident has launched in accordance with the school district’s protocols and policies.
WCTV is aware of two incidents circulating on social media, one allegedly involving a male staff member and another involving a female staff member.
