Black students at Eureka High School are upset that the Rockwood School Board eliminated its diversity and inclusion programs and want the school board to replace their programs or implement new ones. The students say that racist incidents at their school are weighing on them and that they need more diversity programs, which are safe spaces for them.

In an email to principals, Superintendent Curtis Cane said the district would delay equity efforts while he reviews the training. But he said the work will continue.

Curtis Cain, who is moving to the Rockwood School District this summer, was chosen as the National Superintendent of the Year.
