The school's yearbook account tweeted an apology, saying it was an unintentional mistake.

'We are extremely sorry for what occurred in the yearbook. It is our duty to represent the students of Los Osos High School and by mis-tagging and giving the incorrect name, we failed to do so.'

The tweet went on to say that the yearbook staff should have 'checked each name carefully' and there 'was no intention to create this misunderstanding'.

'It is our fault and this is absolutely inexcusable on our part.'

The yearbook staff also wrote that they are working with school officials to 'remedy this situation'.

Bayan tweeted that her mom 'wants to meet with the principle and if there's no answers she's gonna open a case'.

The Chaffey Joint Union High School District released a statement that said the district is 'investigating to figure how this happened and we are certainly sensitive to the young lady', according to KABC.

'We have been in contact with the family and will continue to work with them to determine how this could happen and how we can remedy the situation.'

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has been in contact with the student and her family and said she will likely not return to school 'until the issue is resolved appropriately', according to KABC.

The council said it is calling for a thorough investigation of the misprint as they believe the incident came from a 'possible bias motive' and they are deeply concerned for Bayan 'as a result of being falsely labeled as a member of a terrorist group'.
