Video highlights Northwest Allen County Schools masking debate tensions: Superintendent fled angry crowd in hall in September 2021

Superintendent Chris Himsel ended his final in-person regular board meeting forced into hiding at Carroll High School, where he eluded more than 30 men, women and children intent on a confrontation, video obtained by The Journal Gazette shows.

No audio accompanies the security footage, which shows multiple, simultaneous camera angles in real time. A woman holding an “Unmask NACS students now” sign spots the Northwest Allen County Schools leader from down the hall and alerts people off-camera, who quickly enter the frame in their rush toward Himsel.
