Earlier today, an opinion piece appeared on the Pioneer Press. The piece has been temporarily removed due to inaccurate attributions. The article cited information from a counterfeit social media account impersonating a School Board Member. We as The Pioneer Press want to take time to correct the article with care before we republish with an editor’s note acknowledging the previous version.
The following is a statement from the District: “The Pioneer Press opinion piece was removed solely for inaccuracy and a failure to adhere to journalistic standards and integrity. The District values the opinions of our students but believes accuracy is of the utmost importance. We aspire to use these teachable moments to elevate our standards of excellence.”
