Superintendent Scott Smith said Tuesday on the phone he and school staff are investigating claims about what happened during the football game, including what Gray reported.
He said school staff have “no tolerance for racially charged exchanges.”
Smith said Leonardtown High School Principal Jill Mills would be more involved in the activities of the high school “super-fans” called “The Bird Cage,” who selected the patriotic theme for the football game.
“They come up with themes and get the kids involved with them,” he said.
Smith said he was not at the game, and received reports Friday morning detailing one Leonardtown student “who was carrying an American flag, wearing an anti-Hillary [Clinton] shirt and a sweater with a Confederate logo on the arms.”
Smith said the student’s actions were inappropriate, and was addressed by a deputy at the football game and escorted away from the visitors side of the stadium. He said school staff met Friday morning with the boy, who was not arrested following the incident at the game.
However, reports on Monday indicate there were “kids in Trump masks, [people] holding Confederate flags and openly taunting Great Mills football players.”
Smith said staff who attended the football game “didn’t see this ... and didn’t report it.”
