STATEMENT ON CONSEQUENCES OF STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONAT HOLY REDEEMER HIGH SCHOOL
February 29, 2008
 

A number of students at Holy Redeemer High School left the building this morning without permission to stage a demonstration in support of the Scranton Diocese Association of Catholic Teachers (SDACT).

The students and their parents had been notified in advance that while students had the freedom to express their support, if they took such action during school hours it would result in disciplinary consequences. The students who participated in this demonstration have been informed that they must attend a 2 ½ hour detention period on Saturday, March 8. They will be given a writing assignment to complete during this period.

The Catholic education of the students in a safe, secure environment is of primary importance to the Administration, Teachers and Staff of Diocesan Catholic Schools.
