Excerpt:
The Coachella Valley Unified School Board will hold a special meeting on Friday to discuss the Coachella Valley High School "Arab," a longstanding mascot that has been criticized by a national anti-discrimination group.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the library at the high school, said Darryl Adams, school district superintendent. The school board initially planned to discuss the mascot during a regular meeting on Oct. 21, but Adams said the special meeting would allow more time for public comment and board discussion.
An agenda for the meeting has not yet been released.
