The school board meeting was moved to the cafeteria because of the massive amount of people that showed up to support the now former high school teacher. 

Mr. Scott Kromminga, a long time high school teacher, was suspended after apparently being recorded using inappropriate language to a student.

According to KTTC, the history teacher learned his fate last night, and it wasn't a happy one. "The board decided upon a resolution, after about an hour of a closed-session discussion, to either immediately discharge Kromminga or terminate his contract at the end of this school year."

The news stations says the room filled with tears and students lined up to hug one of their favorite teachers after the decision.

What former students are saying on Facebook today: 

"Literally brings tears to my eyes. I hope for the best for Scott Kromminga, and I feel sorry for all of the upcoming students who won't get to experience what a genuine guy he is." - Kaela.

"Definitely disappointed/embarrassed to say I go to PEM today more than ever." - Brandy

"Scott Kromminga was one of the best teachers I had at PEM. My only hope is that there is more to the story that is being withheld for privacy reasons. If not, I fear that a great injustice has been done to the current and future students in the district." - Olivia
