Nassau County Schools Investigate Alleged Racist Incident at Fernandina Beach HS Volleyball Game
The district said a student brought the doll for a parenting class assignment, and it disciplined students after finding inappropriate behavior.
- On Tuesday, the Nassau County School District announced it completed its investigation into "racially offensive behavior" at a volleyball match between Andrew Jackson High and Fernandina Beach High School last week.
- During the game, Fernandina Beach students held up a Black doll while making jokes, which an Andrew Jackson parent characterized as "disgusting and unacceptable," alleging students used racial slurs and gestures directed at players.
- Investigators found the behavior "inappropriate and unacceptable," though the NCSD determined there was insufficient evidence to substantiate reports that racial slurs were used during the match against Andrew Jackson.
- Nassau County officials issued a formal apology to the Andrew Jackson High School community and implemented disciplinary actions for involved students while strengthening security and crowd management procedures at athletic events.
- The Fernandina Beach Police Department continues monitoring threats connected to the incident, clarifying that a separate aggravated assault investigation involving a firearm is unrelated to the high school volleyball case.
