Grand Forks Public Schools has launched a page on its website titled “Rumor Has It,” to combat the spread of false rumors across the district, according to its superintendent.

Superintendent Terry Brenner said the rumors, which have been circulating for more than a year, include claims that the district is storing litter boxes in its restrooms for student use, critical race theory is being taught and the district averaged a 17 out of 36 possible points on the ACT composite scores for the 2019-20 school. According to Brenner, the rumors are propagating both locally and nationally.

“These are false narratives that continue to be perpetuated by groups of people, for personal and political gain,” said Brenner. “I would challenge anyone who is responsible for promoting these false narratives to visit our schools, set up an appointment with our principals, and they will find these rumors have no credibility.”
