The district gained national attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when local high school student Grady Knox was harassed by district meeting attendees after explaining that his grandmother had died due to the lack of mask-wearing in local schools.[2][3] Outgoing school board chairman Coy Young subsequently apologized, stating his "regret the young man was treated the way he was."[4]
