This is Dr.
Roseli Weiss, Superintendent of the Middleborough Public Schools. There are many rumors circulating throughout
the schools and parent community regarding the school day tomorrow. I am aware of these rumors as are the
Middleborough Police. We continue to
work together to keep the children and staff of our school district safe. The truth is not on facebook or through your
neighbor.
I am
communicating the facts. The rumors are
unsubstantiated. However, we are on
alert. As I have stated throughout the week, there will be an increased
presence of police cars at the schools on Friday as there have been all week.
I am asking
for your support. I need you to help me
keep everyone safe and calm by not feeding into rumors that are unsubstantiated
and escalate concern. We have been
working diligently to keep doors locked and closed, to be more aware of people
coming into the schools. We have been
walking throughout the schools to identify ways to strengthen our
security.
We plan to
discuss safety and security during the January 10th School Committee
meeting and plan to offer a parent and community evening focused on school
safety in the near future.
Thank you
for your support and I wish you all a happy holiday season. May 2013 be a year of health, happiness and
community caring.
