Thursday, September 13, 2018

Two students lives were threatened by another student at Fawn Elementary. One of the threats was a terrorist threat. The school allowed the student to return back to school the very next day without being searched. Students and staff lives were at jeopardy. No procedures or policies have been changed since this incident. One student was assaulted and bullied and was never treated by the school nurse after the assault. The school district also violated FERPA laws as the parents requested written documentation of the events that occurred and have been denied there request. The school district has not been very fourth coming with the parents and also did not notify other parents of this serious incident. Close Quote
