From: Dr. Veronica Motley, Superintendent
It is not often that I respond to social media posts. However this past weekend, it appears social media served as a platform where individuals discussed a school-related matter. On behalf of our Board of Education, I am taking the opportunity to provide information related to the posted concerns.
Here are the facts:
Shortly after that communication, we received a call from Sylvania City Police informing us that the individual had trespassed on a couple of school properties around Northwest Ohio and over the past couple of weeks, and had also wandered into a residential garage and had been caught peeking into a residential window.
We recognize that many of our elementary buildings are open during evening hours for recreation type activities. We will review our procedures by working with our School Safety and Security Committee and will bring any and all recommendations to our Board of Education for consideration. Local law enforcement is represented on this committee. We appreciate our partnership with both Sylvania City and Sylvania Township law enforcement.
On a final note, despite the level of energy presented on social media this weekend, our District received a total of two inquiries regarding the individual of concern. We kindly remind our parents and/or community members who may have a concern, whether it be safety-related or another concern, to utilize the reference chart below. Following this protocol allows us to directly address your questions and concerns.
