Letter to Emerson Families

February 19, 2020

Dear parents and guardians,
I am writing to inform you we are aware of a social media post that makes allegations of inappropriate behavior against one of our staff members. I want to assure you the District takes this matter seriously and has immediately taken steps to determine if the allegations are credible and ensure the safety and security of our students.

The staff member who is the subject of the allegations was immediately placed on leave and will remain on leave until the investigation is finished. In addition, police were notified and we will continue to work with the authorities to determine the next appropriate steps.

We cannot comment further on an on-going investigation at this time, but I assure you student safety is our top priority and we will always strive to communicate any relevant information should the need arise with our families.

Sincerely,

Tyrone Smith
Principal
