On Wednesday, a personnel matter at Itawamba Agricultural High School was addressed, and the individual involved is no longer employed by IAHS. Families and staff were notified that same afternoon.
Another personnel issue remains under investigation in cooperation with the Itawamba County Sheriff’s Office. Because these are personnel matters, we are limited in what can be shared publicly. Unfortunately, some rumors and false information have been circulated, and we urge our community to rely only on official communications from the district.
We ask for understanding and respect as we follow the proper process. Please know that our priority remains ensuring the safety, well-being, and success of our students and employees at IAHS and throughout the district.
