From the Superintendent
This week's school attack in Nashville is yet another reminder of the senseless tragedies that have come to define modern America. With each event comes questions and concerns about the safety and security of our schools, along with the well-being of our children, families, staff, and even the nation. Please watch my four-minute video clip below where I share my thoughts on this topic.
