Christy Renzulli

Ms. Renzulli asked about the status of the Citizen Advisory Committee. Ms. Peterson responded that the Policy Committee will be discussing the Committee on February 21st and will provide an update at the next meeting. Shareen Ducasse Ms. Ducasse expressed concern with staffing and resources to accommodate special needs classrooms at all the elementary schools. An example of an issue is the length of time the children are traveling on the bus. Ms. Ducasse was also concerned that there were no communications regarding the alleged incident at the Middle School. Ms. Peterson asked Ms. Ducasse to speak with her after the meeting to get details regarding the children traveling on the bus for a lengthy timeframe. Dr. Poteat addressed the concern regarding the alleged incident at the Middle School. The District does not follow rumors. There was no reportable incident that took place on Friday in any of the schools. If there is a true emergency pertaining to the District, Dr. Poteat encouraged the Community to first view the school website for accurate information. The incident in question was spread on social media over the weekend. The Police Department contacted Dr. Poteat and conducted their investigation. They did not find any evidence of the alleged incident and issued a press release. The Police Chief had police cars present at the school on Monday to make the Parents feel at ease. If there is a true emergency, we will continue to alert and communicate with the Community. There are no policy or procedures for rumors. We always investigate before we react. The trauma that has been caused to the family and juvenile child regarding the alleged incident, who had nothing to do with what was being said; the violations of the parents’ and child’s rights, which have been violated on every level. Dr. Poteat was satisfied with the way this situation was handled by the Police and District and he does not take any incident lightly. Ms. Peterson stated that the Board is concerned about all students and values everyone’s input. But we have to work together, collaborate together. We will learn from this experience, as it is a teachable moment.
