LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – An Arkansas school district that ordered a student
newspaper to take down an investigative report now says the article can be
re-published on its website.
A spokesman for the Springdale School District said Tuesday the Har-ber Herald
could republish its months-long investigation into the transfer of six football
players to a rival high school. The article alleged the students transferred for
athletic, not academic reasons, which would violate district policy.
Springdale instructed the Herald to remove the article from its website Nov. 2nd,
three days after students published the investigation.
In a Nov. 27th letter, Har-ber principal Paul Griep Herald instructed the paper’s
adviser not to publish without prior administrative review. The district also
said it was reviewing existing rules and would establish new protocols for
student publications.
