PARISHVILLE, N.Y. (WWNY) - Students at Parishville-Hopkinton Central School want a teacher returned to the classroom.
They protested Thursday and their message was plain: they want science teacher William Ayers brought back.
Superintendent Bill Collins confirms Ayers is on paid administrative leave. He says he can’t say more.
Students and parents say Ayers was fired but the district is now thinking about it. They say he’s a teacher that’s about more than just grades.
