Camas School District’s new superintendent says the district — which found itself embroiled in two investigations into racist slurs allegedly directed toward visiting student-athletes during the 2021-22 school year — will have a “fresh set of eyes” on its athletics programs going into the new school year.

“We are not going to crucify anybody, because these are kids, but we will still hold people accountable,” CSD Superintendent John Anzalone told The Post-Record this week. “We want to make sure (visiting student-athletes) feel welcome and build trust, which will take some time.”
