Controversy In February 2020, the district refused to allow a student, Newt Johnson, to remain in classes if he continued to grow his hair out to possibly make a wig for his sick sister. Superintendent Paula Renken alleged the matter was not about an ill person but rather enforcing the school board's rules. With the support of his parents, Johnson left the school."A high school student is growing out his hair for his sick sister.
