Dear Millburn Staff and Families,
Lacrosse Game Incident
There were allegations at a Boy’s Lacrosse game this week that Anti-Semitic comments were made to a student-athlete. This incident is under investigation by both schools, and we are collaborating to the greatest extent possible. Before appropriate disciplinary measures can be taken, it is our responsibility, and that of the other district to ascertain what exactly happened. When comments are alleged to be directed at individuals (or groups) based on specific characteristics such as race, religion or orientation we investigate to determine whether or not the action is an example of Harassment, Intimidation or Bullying (HIB) and/or a violation of the Code of Conduct.
We do not tolerate acts of hate, racism, Anti-Semitism and intolerance. We continue to work together to foster a welcoming, safe, and caring school environment for all of our students. Our diverse and inclusive makeup is our greatest strength. We must persist in our efforts to work as ONE MILLBURN to embrace our diversity and make Millburn a safe place to live, learn, and grow.
