YARMOUTH, Maine (AP) - School officials are working with law enforcement to identify hackers who interrupted a Zoom school committee meeting with a racial epithet and an obscene video.
Superintendent Andrew Dolloff said the “repulsive” incident Thursday night was witnessed by dozens of people. The epithet appeared on people’s screens and the video began.
The meeting was quickly shut down and then restarted, the Portland Press Herald reported.
“Racial slurs and degrading images have no place in Yarmouth, in Maine, or anywhere else,” Dolloff wrote Friday in a letter to the school community. He called it “a disgusting attempt to disrupt our work.”
The school department is working with police to get to the bottom of the incident, Dolloff said.
