Elmore Stoutt High School will transition to remote learning this Friday, May 3rd in response to undisclosed incidents of “extreme misconduct” that occurred on the school’s campus this week.
In a notice released on Thursday night, the school’s administration stated that the move to virtual classes on Friday was made “as our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff.”
