Four Alabama high school players expelled for hazing acts

September 28, 2010 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

The details have been kept hushed, but from the context it seems this was another cruel and nasty
hazing. Elkmont High School link

It happened when coaches weren’t around.  Can the locker room be off limits when coaches cannot be there?

Excerpt:

The four students – senior football players – are accused of hazing a freshman football player in the locker room in September when coaches weren’t around. A closed hearing Monday at the board of education’s central office featured testimony from students involved, parents of those involved and lawyers representing the four seniors. The closed hearing resulted in a unanimous vote by the school board to expel the students accused of hazing.

“Everyone is concerned,” said Superintendent Dr. Barry Carroll after the decision was announced. “The school district is concerned, and the board is concerned.”

Carroll said he wants people to understand that this was an isolated incident and in no way reflective of Elkmont High School. School board president Anthony Hilliard felt the same way.

“Elkmont is a great school and offers a great education,” Hilliard said. “This is a black eye for all of us.”

Details of the hazing weren’t released, nor were the names of those involved, but Hilliard said some of the testimony was “difficult to comprehend.”

According to federal law, school districts are required to provide an education to all students until the age of 17, even if the student is expelled. State law also requires school districts to provide an education to special education students until they reach the age of 21.

Hilliard said all of the seniors are at least 17 years old, but two are special education students. Limestone County is required to offer them an education whether it be through a home schooling schedule or an alternative school.
