April 21, 2021 Dozens of people contacted NorthEscambia.com Tuesday after receiving word that this week’s scheduled Tate High School drama performance been canceled at the eleventh hour due to the pandemic. Many expressed anger that the show would not go on while sporting events are allowed to continue. We reached out to Escambia County School Superintendent Dr. Tim Smith and Tate High School Principal Rick Shackle for answers. “I think there was confusion at the school over a drama production,” Smith said Tuesday afternoon.” “There has been no change whatsoever to (COVID-19) protocols that have been in place all year.”
