Cherokee Middle School yearbooks will be reprinted to remove racial slurs and other offensive material, district officials confirmed Thursday.
In addition, the school’s one-person approach to putting out the book will change when future editions are produced, officials said.
“We had a process that worked for us and then we came upon a situation this year that was really unfortunate,” school Principal Sarah Chaja-Clardy said in an interview. “We are definitely making changes for the future. Our yearbook is a reflection of our school and it absolutely has to reflect the values of the school.”
