“A state Department of Education investigation into allegations that a black vice principal forced Hispanic fifth-graders to eat on the floor has determined that the incidents occurred, but they were not racist acts.

The investigation found that Sumner Elementary Vice Principal Theresa Brown regularly punished students by making them eat on the gym floor.
