This is an unfortunate situation that is being taken seriously. The administration of the district stands firm in its belief that student safety is of the utmost importance. This type of behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in the district.

I think everyone appreciates the fact that we were forthcoming with the information. We were all shocked that it happened, and at this point we're taking a look at everything we do and have done. Our biggest concern is for the victim and everyone else in the class.

There were two or three kids that started the year that were not still there, but everything seemed pretty explainable. I'm hoping this is finally the end of it, but it really doesn't change the way we do business here. That's just another charge she'll have to deal with.
