ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. — Accomack County Public Schools is condemning racist comments directed at its student-athletes during a volleyball game at Broadwater Academy, according to a statement released Friday by Superintendent Gennifer Miller.
Miller said she has spoken with Broadwater’s head of school and the commissioner of the Volleyball Eastern Shore Officials Association about the incident.
“The behavior witnessed last night is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Miller said. “Our student-athletes, like all students, deserve to learn, grow, and compete in an environment of dignity, respect, and safety.”
She added that if such conduct happens again and is not addressed immediately, ACPS teams will leave the game and return home.
The division said its standards of sportsmanship and respect extend to all athletic, academic, and extracurricular events, including games played between schools within Accomack County. Anyone who violates those expectations will be asked to leave.
“ACPS will not permit any environment that diminishes the dignity of our students or undermines the values of inclusivity, equity, and unity,” Miller said.
The superintendent said the district remains committed to protecting students and ensuring programs reflect respect, dignity and good sportsmanship.
