The list reportedly included 13 names, including both students and staff.
The parents of every student named in the list were informed before the district sent the letter out. Resources and support will be made available for students.
“This type of behavior is neither acceptable nor tolerable in our schools now or ever,” Superintendent Sara Dobbelaer wrote in the letter. “The District is unwavering in its commitment to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all students, staff, and families.”
