Durham, NH, United States (AHN) – About 500 students walked out of Oyster River High School Thursday morning in protest of the school board’s decision not to hire a new principal.

Principal Laura Rogers, who has been at the school for five years, said she would not be returning next school year.

The school board received more than 40 applications for a new principal.

Justin Campbell, an administrator in Milford, was finally nominated by the superintendent, despite his nomination not being fully supported by the board.

A large crowd showed up to a school board meeting Wednesday night to support Campbell.

None of the students were disciplined for the walkout on Thursday, which lasted approximately 45 minutes. They walked to the School Administrative Unit building, a block away from the high school.

According to board members, the students were courteous.

Although no formal reason was given for the board’s split decision, members speculate it was due to budget issues.

The hiring process will begin again in the search for a new principal.
