Local news is now reporting on allegations contained in a letter addressed to me and written by the ACLU. The allegations contained in the letter are abhorrent. Immediately, upon my receipt of the letter I personally contacted the ACLU. Some of the allegations are historical. They were investigated and addressed when they occurred. As soon as we learned of the other allegations we began investigating them. Our investigation of the allegation involving a staff member has determined that the classroom activity that occurred was not as described in the ACLU letter.
Bullying, harassment, racism and intimidation - in word and/or action - are unacceptable. Period.
At last night's school board meeting we spoke of the work we are doing and must do moving forward. For the sake of all of our children, we are committed to doing this work together with our community.
