At the end of 2024 the school's management publicly apologised to prime minister Vučević and announced disciplinary proceedings over the politicisation of pupils after a tribute to the victims in Novi Sad. According to media reports, the principal then locked the building, moved classes to other schools and suspended six teachers, while 16 teachers from the union lost their contracts. A court fined both the principal and the school for failing to reinstate the suspended staff.
