SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. – Leaders and board members of the Sun Prairie Area School District are asking the community for their forgiveness and trust following a racially-insensitive assignment.
At a school board meeting Monday, district leaders gave a presentation on the timeline of the incident, the response and the investigation.
“I’d like to start this presentation with a statement of apology, of ownership and of commitment,” Superintendent Brad Saron said. “While this incident at Patrick Marsh Middle School does not reflect our commitment and work leading up to this point, it does serve as a determining factor to accelerate our work toward racial equity.”
