Students at North Middlesex Regional High School in Massachusetts are not allowed to show school spirit, or their idea of it, at school sporting events until Feb. 1, according to a report by the Nashoba Valley Voice.
Principal Tim McMahon released a statement to announce that the school will “temporarily restrict North Middlesex students from attending all school-related athletic events, both home and away contests.” McMahon’s statement said the reason for this temporary restriction is “due to repeated complaints from our own North Middlesex parents and families, opposing parents, and administrators.”
“Throughout the course of the school year, I have received far too many correspondences from a number of stakeholders regarding our student fans’ inappropriate use of language, taunting behavior, and vulgarity at athletic contests,” said McMahon’s statement, which was circulated among parents Tuesday afternoon. “We have addressed each of these incidences individually, and as a whole, as a means of curtailing inappropriate behaviors by our student spectators.” read more at athleticbusiness.com
