A Nordonia High School band teacher has been relieved of duties for using the “N-word” as part of a “lesson context” to students, according to Superintendent Dr. Joe Clark.
The teacher has been relieved of duties while the incident is investigated, according to a letter sent to district parents and guardians Thursday by Superintendent Dr. Joe Clark.
“The teacher used the N-word while discussing which words were unacceptable and how our band’s culture needs to improve.” Clark wrote.
Clark said racial slurs will not be tolerated in any context.
