At approximately 7:10 a.m. Monday, March 4, Dr. Wilson provided the following remarks to community members who gathered to rally in front of the superintendent’s office.

“We want to assure the community that we take all allegations seriously and are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in our schools. Our focus remains on providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all students, faculty, and staff.

While we understand the public’s interest and concern, it is imperative to recognize that there is a process that must be followed. Therefore, out of respect for the integrity of the investigation and to preserve the rights of those involved, the District and I are unable to provide further comment at this time.

I want to be clear in stating that the investigation is still open and no decisions have been made at this time.”
