Several students who say they witnessed the staff member at Bennion Junior High use the slur have posted about it on social media, saying they were shocked to hear it. Some are identifying the employee as an administrator and calling for him to be fired.
confirmed Thursday that it was investigating allegations that a staffer had used a racist slur “in the midst of conversing with a group of students.”
The district released a statement, saying it doesn’t condone or tolerate “the use of any type of derogatory terms or racial slurs in any form or context.” The employee is now on administrative leave while the district investigates. This is the second reported racist incident involving a school employee this week at Granite School District, which is one of the most diverse in the state, with a population that is 54% students of color.
That employee has also been placed on administrative leave during an investigation. The district said that review will move forward, even as the employee is slated to retire shortly, at the end of this school year.
