In response to various social media postings and direct email requests regarding allegations received by our police department, the Board of Education has noted that the publicly released police reports discussed in the media and elsewhere clarify that the parent never reported to Mr. Burris anything about a sexual relationship between a student and a staff member, and further that the parent never believed there was such a sexual relationship. Given the absence of any public evidence related to a "mandatory reporting" duty, the Board of Education will await the legal proceedings before making any assumptions. At next week's board meeting, now a "special meeting" rather than a work session, we will review the status of this matter and will consider whether to take any action(s) related to these issues. As a special meeting, this will not be an opportunity for verbal public comment. There will be the potential for an executive session at this meeting.
