Pendleton County Schools recently became aware of private social media messages exchanged between two individuals, one of whom served as a citizen coach (a non-full-time position) within our school system. In those messages, the coach repeatedly used racist and threatening language.

We were shocked and disturbed during our review of the messages. This language and behavior do not reflect the values or expectations of Pendleton County Schools. Our school system is committed to fostering an environment of respect, dignity, and inclusion for all students, families, and members of our community.

Because this conduct is unequivocally inconsistent with those values, the individual is no longer serving as a citizen coach within Pendleton County Schools. Immediate action was taken to end the individual’s services in that role.

We sincerely apologize to the family who was directly impacted by these messages. While the messages were communicated in the individual’s personal capacity using private social media or technology, they nonetheless cast an unwanted shadow on our school system given his former coaching role.

Pendleton County Schools also apologizes to our employees and community members who work every day to uphold the values of respect, dignity, and inclusion that define our schools.

Attention families: Today, a flyer was sent home with students about opportunities to donate supplies and support Logan County Elementary School after a recent fire.

We have since received word that Logan County Schools has been overwhelmed with donations and is now at capacity. At this time, please disregard the flyer that was sent home today.

We are working on another way to support Logan County Elementary and will be in touch with a new plan in the coming week. Thank you for your understanding and continued generosity.
