The state Board of Education warned the district in June that intervention was coming if their concerns went unaddressed.

Ron Gray s son Jared died after crashing his car on Tuesday, May 4. It all started with meth. These are the words of a grieving father who lost his son in a car accident in Rotorua this week - the second family tragedy he has suffered after losing another son and that son s mother in another road smash.
A police spokesman said yesterday an investigation into the crash was ongoing.
