Missing Morgan update
We had our meeting with the school Wednesday afternoon. Only the principal was there, because all the teachers in Morgan’s class have been suspended and are on administrative leave. Ash had the tape recorder and decided not to turn it on after the first few minutes of the meeting.
The principal told us that she didn’t have a lot of information for us because the school district took over and sent in their own team to investigate the problem. The school is crawling with school district investigators who told her basically to keep out of it because she can’t be objective. They brought in the people who trained Morgan’s teachers to take over their classroom until the investigation is resolved. There are some security consultants reviewing their procedures and the physical layout of his class and the school, etc.
The principal seemed a little shell shocked and the meeting put Ash’s at ease. It appears that the school district is taking this extremely seriously. The principal told us that they consider this one of the most serious events that has ever happened in this school district.
So, we weren’t able to get any of the information we needed because the principal was told not to ask any questions and not to speculate on what happened while they investigate it. Well, one of our questions was answered, whether this was going to be escalated to anyone else in the school district. We’re going to be kept informed of the results of the investigation.
