Zero-tolerance policy controversy and investigation

After the school district passed a zero-tolerance policy on December 9, 2021, the Florence Branch of the NAACP filed a Title IV complaint to the Department of Education over the alleged harm the policy would cause to students of color, leading to an investigation. The investigation is currently ongoing [2]
