School Safety:
We have faced our second week in a row dealing with school safety issues. These have been difficult for our entire community. It is a tragic reality that we are all coping with situations that were once unimaginable in schools.
District and school leadership have invested an immense amount of time in school safety and student mental health. Enhancements to school safety are ongoing and necessary work. Based on lessons learned, we continue to make revisions to our Emergency Operations Plan. It is, however, troubling that schools are now responsible for defending against violence that should never be allowed to occur in the first place. These are, after all, schools.
We know that it is good for our students to be in school, engaged in their routines, co-curricular activities, and Valentine's parties. I am grateful to our staff and parents who put on a brave face to support children while still, themselves, processing the fear and loss experienced this week. Similarly, I appreciate the collaboration between home and school which maintains our collective security and provides comfort for all Williamston students.
We are looking to hire an additional school social worker to assist students at Williamston Middle School. The job posting can be found here if you know someone who might be interested.
Wishing our community a peaceful holiday weekend.
