In a video recorded in a Lake Highlands High School classroom, a teacher can't be seen but is heard using a racial slur multiple times in front of students.
Today, the district confirmed that that teacher has been placed on administrative leave while it investigates adding, "The use of a racial slur in any education setting is offensive and inappropriate, regardless of the context."
Sophomore Dylan Barber, who recorded the video, said more needs to be done.
"There need to be consequences for racist people," said Barber.
