On March 12, Catskill Superintendent of Schools Dan Wilson released a statement to parents and the community delaying the school play. Instead of this weekend, the "Cinderella" musical will be performed on April 12, 13, and 14. The play is being delayed because Choral director Michelle Storrs-Ryan and Catskill High School Principal Juniat Shah were both suspended by the school’s superintendent following a complaint about the music teacher jokingly handing Scotch tape to a student during a rehearsal when several cast members would not stop talking. The student said, as a joke, she placed a piece of tape over her mouth and continued talking. The principal was suspended for not taking action, but was reinstated March 12. Shah, though, is the teacher organizing the play, and since she has not been reinstated, the production was not able to meet its intended date. There have been protests from students and community members almost daily since the two were suspended almost two weeks ago. Wilson has refused to speak about the issue, and in his announcement of the play's delay only wrote, "We have made this decision with careful consideration to ensure that the production meets the highest standards and that all involved have the best possible experience."
