As of Monday 11/22 Ms. Rainey, a teacher at Webster Groves High School has been suspended by the school district administration for supporting senior class in a spirit day event.
The context to this event: On Friday 11/19 it was the third day of spirit week, where we dress like our movie. The seniors movie was Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is a movie where the main character skips school for the day. Some of the seniors were split on if similar to the movie we should skip school for some portion of the day, but chose to do something fun and non-disruptive instead. We decided to go into the courtyard 10 minutes from the end of the school day and dance to Twist and Shout, an iconic song from the movie. Ms. Rainey assisted by playing the music out of her classroom window.

Students have been being called into the principals office repeatedly and have not been told why Ms. Rainey has been suspended. She is a trusted adult to a large number of students, and her absence is a void that won't be filled by any substitute. We need more transparency from the administration.
