"For me, it was less about the flag than it was about preventing the abuse of students and staff," Luker told a local newspaper. "I had made abuse reports previously and the abuse that I reported previously had been allowed to continue."
Authorities say Luker threw the U.S. flag on the floor of an administrator's office at the school and stomped on it, breaking the wooden stem and ripping the flag off its fastenings.
"We feel like the issue has been appropriately resolved," said Scott Rogers, Minidoka County School District superintendent. "It's now taking its course through potential legal avenues. We've been directed to not talk about it by legal counsel."
The incidents with the flags early in May led to protests and counter protests at the school, which heightened security amid the ethnic tension.
