Wayland SEPAC Statement Regarding Racist Graffiti at WHS
The Wayland SEPAC condemns the racist graffiti found at Wayland High School this morning. We acknowledge the hurt, anger, sadness, and fear this act of hate will have on our Superintendent, Dr. Omar Easy, as well as the students, staff and families of color in our school district.
The Wayland SEPAC stands in solidarity with all who condemn racism and work for racial justice and is committed to celebrating the rich diversity of our school community.
