What's Going On at Rogers High School?

 

We've always told our readers (mainly disgruntled parents) that high school lasts only four years. Your child will graduate and move on, leaving the teachers and staff behind to muddle through...or perhaps actually inspire. No matter which is true of those who man the high school halls, it's very temporary, grit your teeth and think of the future.

Now it seems that a great many are unhappy with events at Rogers High School. Some want the superintendent, the principal, and the SRO to be shown the door. There's even a petition: 

Remove Jerry Hill, Sabrina Malone, SRO Brad Potts from LCS system for Negligence

The problem is the "problem." The petition mentions sexual assault. In other words, it's not just lunch room squabbles or troublesome athletic practice times. It's sexual assault, or at least what we suspect is sexual abuse using the term in the Alabama Code.

This is not something to be covered up. You can sign the petition and hope for the best (don't bet your homecoming corsage) or you can make a report to the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office or One Place of the Shoals. 

It's 2024, and this isn't a Carry On movie. No female (or male) students should be subject to unwanted touching or even worse. Good luck!
