PUBLIC STATEMENT: LONDONDERRY VARSITY CHEERLEADING UPDATE
October 12, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On October 10, 2023, during a lengthy non-public meeting with the Londonderry School Board,
an independent investigator presented the official findings of their investigation into allegations of
discrimination, harassment, and bullying on the Varsity Cheerleading Team. While the majority of
student-athletes were cleared of any wrongdoing, unfortunately, some instances of bullying and
discrimination were substantiated within the program. Because the investigation found those
instances did not permeate the whole team, the School Board is reinstating the Varsity
cheerleading program once the administration has informed all parties of the findings and created
restorative action plans setting up the expectations for the team and the Lancer Cheerleading
Booster Club moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sincerely appreciate the cooperation of families during the investigation, and we deeply regret
that any student and their family has experienced distress due to these incidents. In accordance
with Londonderry High School\u2019s policies and our code of conduct, appropriate and proportional
disciplinary consequences were administered, focusing on the team\u2019s future. Administration will
continue to closely monitor the team\u2019s dynamics and provide additional staffing to support the
team as the season resumes. The well-being and emotional support of the cheerleaders remain
our top priority as they officially return to practice and competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has been a difficult situation for all, and we ask the community and the press to respect the
privacy of everyone involved so we can focus on healing, resuming the season, and moving
forward together. The Londonderry School District remains committed to working closely with our
students, parents, coaches, and staff to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all of our
athletic programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
