SOUTHWICK — The day after School Superintendent Jennifer Willard sent an email to parents and guardians to notify them about another incident involving racist language, a Select Board member has requested that the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School Committee ask one its members to resign if rumors about her child being involved in the mock “slave auction” in early February are true.
On Thursday evening, Willard let the parents and guardians of students attending Southwick Regional School know that another racial incident had occurred.
“I am completely disheartened that I must so quickly address an issue of racism in our community,” Willard said in the email. “The district was made aware of racist language written on a bathroom wall.”
