Statement Regarding Open Investigations

Dear FMS families,

Recent open investigations have raised questions within our school communities regarding how the district handles those instances and we would like to address those directly with you.

First and foremost, please know that our students' and staff's safety and well-being are among our top priorities. We are fully dedicated to providing a secure and supportive environment for all.

We act swiftly and appropriately when an incident or allegation involving students or staff comes to our attention. We report to law enforcement, cooperate fully with investigations, and don’t interfere with ongoing processes. We typically don’t comment on open investigations, but we are considering changes to when we communicate with our families to include notices about staff charged with sexual abuse.

We understand that these situations may still leave you feeling concerned. We share your worries and frustrations and are committed to keeping you informed to the best of our ability.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
