Tiverton school officials have dealt with a racial incident.
Students from Pawtucket Shea High School complained about racial slurs and taunts at a boy's basketball game hosted by Tiverton last Thursday.
An investigation determined that a non-Tiverton student used slurs and was permanently banned from attending games.
It was confirmed that a second individual who was a Tiverton student used abusive language, but it was not racial in nature.
They were temporarily banned.
The Rhode Island Interscholastic League, which governs high school sports thanked both institutions for taking action and taking the situation seriously.
