“We aren’t going to let the inappropriate behavior of a few spoil everything for the good kids,” was the consensus of the Eagle Valley School Board. Inappropriate behavior had become a problem at sporting events, homecoming coronations, snow days and other major school festivities. Several incidences in the past school year kept the telephones of board members and the school administrator ringing as disgusted community members voiced their displeasure. The Student Council had deliberated moving the homecoming coronation and program to the afternoon, instead of the evening. Their other suggestion was to give a breathalyzer test to all participants who will be on stage.
