School Board statement
To the editor:
New Ulm Public Schools does not support any act of aggression, disrespect, or intolerance towards any one person or community. What has occurred during and after recent games with St. Peter is horrible and not acceptable for our students and our community. Our school administration will spend time in the next week meeting with students to review our policies around bullying, intolerance and hate. All Students need to understand this is unacceptable behavior.
As a board, we apologize to our community, the St. Peter Community and the St. Peter Basketball team for what has occurred in the past month. As a board, we will continue our work on equity, inclusion and diversity to make sure that all students matter, regardless of the community in which they live
