A principal at a Colorado high school reportedly resigned on Monday after students were pictured reenacting George Floyd's murder in the school parking lot.
The resignation of Rachel Ayers, the principal of Mead High School in Longmont, Colorado, was announced to parents in a letter from Superintendent Don Haddad, according to the Daily Camera.
Ayers' resignation comes three weeks after a photo circulated on social media showing three students reenacting Floyd's death.
In the photo, obtained by CBS Denver, a student wearing blackface laid on the ground while another student knelt on their neck. A third student was seen with their knee on the student's back.
The St. Vrain Valley School District said in May that it was investigating the incident, but it remains unclear if the students were disciplined.
The school district did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
