We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to remove comments that are racist, sexist, abusive, profane, violent, obscene, spam, contain falsehoods or are wildly off-topic, or that libel, incite, threaten or make ad hominem attacks on USD 260 students, employees, guests or other individuals. We also do not permit messages selling products or promoting commercial or other ventures. Comments are also subject to Facebook’s Terms of Use and Code of Conduct policies.
