“Many parents are well aware of their child’s participation in them, some hosting in their garages or basements,” Simms wrote. “When your children create TikToks and Instagram pages using Lunsford’s name, and then attempt to hold these fights in our hallways and bathrooms, we will take action.”
The principal said the school held a “reset” on Friday in which students came in and reported directly to the advisory and were not allowed the usual 20 minutes of free time in the morning to socialize.
“Unfortunately, some students created a very unsafe situation for all and we needed to be able to start our education for the day in a calm manner,” Simms said in the letter.
