Newly surfaced videos posted on social media show more Hazard High School skits in which half-dressed students engaged in lap dances as teachers laughed and sometimes participated during the past four years, The Courier Journal has learned.
The videos were shared with the Courier Journal Thursday after Hazard Independent Schools district announced Wednesday it had launched an investigation into this year's homecoming celebration that included a "Man Pageant" and led to photos being posted on the school's Facebook page of students giving lap dances in their undergarments and dressed like Hooters waitresses.
That investigation ended with "appropriate disciplinary action," according to Superintendent Sondra Combs, who would not say who has been punished. Combs said students were behind the "homecoming festivities," and described the events as an isolated incident.
