The meeting was held to discuss culture problems that could have prompted an incident last week involving several football players.
In a video posted to social media, some of those students appeared to take part in lewd behavior inside a locker room. The district suspended several of those involved as well as all football activities. The varsity head coach was also relieved of his duties until further notice.
