What Goes on at Central High School?

 

A reader has sent us his take on a current situation at Central High School. If you're a Central parent or guardian and you're concerned over these events, you should contact the Lauderdale County School Board: Contact

It is common knowledge in the Central community that the principal of the high school allows his adult children to use the school athletic facilities and attend athletic practices held on campus. The adult children are not students and appear to be using the facilities for personal gain. 

It seems that this is not only an ethical concern of using taxpayer funded equipment for personal use -- but also a COVID-19 safety breach. These adults do not have a legitimate need to be on campus and present a health risk to the ones who are required to be on campus. 

It also seems hypocritical to allow these visitors when the community is discouraged and/or not allowed to come to campus due to the COVID-19 health situation. Many family members and friends in this community are currently not allowed the opportunity to attend athletic events of students at Central due to the health risks of COVID-19. 

How is this reasonable, ethical, fair, or safe?
