What is going on is not clear, but what is obvious is that a large number of students within the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District apparently walked out Tuesday morning in protest.
The protest reportedly began when students learned that the principal of the Kirbyville High School, Holli Farias, had been fired. However, the Superintendent of Schools, Georgia Sayers, said that was not true.
Sayers said she could not discuss the matter because it involved personnel. However, she did say that no one had been terminated.
The protest, which involved an estimated 65 to 75 students of the High School, apparently began at the school on Highway 96 and then moved to the school s administration building on Main Street where many chanted Bring her back. However, the protest on Main Street broke up shortly after Kirbyville Police arrived and encouraged everyone to calm down.
