School officials in Haverhill, Massachusetts have called a “time out” for the entire football team, by canceling the rest of the season — including the big Thanksgiving game.
It’s all because of allegations of misconduct students on the team are facing. The football coaches have been placed on paid administrative leave, while the school and police conduct a full investigation.
What Sparked the Investigation?
A letter from Superintendent of Haverhill Public Schools Margaret Margotta and other district officials said “significant material was uncovered” that “impacts the direction of the investigation and the entire school community.”
Although specifics on the incident were not detailed, the letter said the district “will not tolerate hazing, harassment, or retaliation in any form.”
