Students expelled over 'noose incident'


Hardaway High School (MCSD)

The Muscogee County School District (MCSD) has expelled two white male Hardaway High School students who allegedly made a rope noose and dropped it in front of two two black female students in an incident on Nov. 6.

The decision was taken at a two-hour MCSD tribunal held on Thursday, according to spokesperson Valerie Fuller. A statement released by Fuller said the board found the students guilty of:

  • Rule 1 Disruption and Interference with School
  • Rule 5 Verbal Assault, Physical Assault, Disrespectful Conduct of Students
  • Rule 12 Acts of Misconduct
according to the parent-student handbook. The students have the right to appeal the decision.
