Wahpeton Public School - Community Complaint
An earlier Power Alert was sent out to families and staff that did not give clear information about the incident it was pertaining to. I want to get this right so people understand what has taken place and what we are dealing with. I want everyone to know that we are being transparent about what happened and what information we obtained through the investigation process. It is my intent that the information below will shed accurate information that Mr. Dodge obtained through his investigation process. If people feel that the previous Power Alert was vanilla and vague, that truly was not the intent.
Updated statement:
Earlier this week it was brought to our attention that an activity in one of our elementary classrooms may have been inappropriate and insensitive considering the current reality of the issues our country is currently dealing with. The school district was not aware of the incident until it was brought to our attention earlier this week. As a district, we do not support or tolerate any activity that would make students uncomfortable in the learning environment. The situation is currently being investigated. The teacher involved is on administrative leave until the investigation is complete and all information is compiled. Details regarding the investigation will be released once the investigation is complete.
Rick Jacobson, Superintendent
