By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH, AP MISSION, Kan. (AP) — Leaders of a nearly all-white northwest Missouri school district have narrowly voted to keep the high school's “Savages” nickname but will phase out the use of Native American imagery. The Savannah R-3 Board of Education's 4-3 vote on Tuesday night came after months of dueling petitions and heated debates over the mascot and amid a national movement calling for racial justice. “We value everyone’s opinion in the community, and we also value those indigenous voices that speak up and say, ‘This is not OK,'" outgoing Board President Stancy Bond said Wednesday. “We thought that it was a middle ground move to compromise and remove the imagery."
