While employees have the right to express personal opinions as private citizens, the school district also holds them to high professional standards.
Personnel matters are confidential, and we will not be commenting further on any specific actions taken, but we are reviewing this situation in accordance with district policy and procedures to address it within state and federal legal guidelines.
We appreciate the understanding and support of our community as we remain focused on providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all.
