Penn Wood High School is suspending all sports due to an investigation involving an “alleged incident that implicates culture and climate in athletics,” the William Penn School District announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0posted online, the school district in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, said an independent investigator has been assigned to the case. It’s unclear who or what is under investigation.<\/p>\n The school district said families can share “positive experiences within Penn Wood athletics by emailing communications@wpsd.k12.pa.us.”<\/p>\n The district said the feedback would allow the district to identify areas that are working and where it needs to improve.<\/p>\n “Student safety and well-being remain paramount,” the school district said in a statement<\/a> posted online. “The district will conduct a fair and thorough review under applicable district policies. Student-athletes will have the opportunity to share their experiences through a climate survey to help inform this work.”<\/p>\n “We recognize that this pause is disappointing for students, families, coaches, and supporters. Athletics provides meaningful opportunities for connection, growth, and teamwork, and we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful environment for every student.” \u00a0<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
