“Our first concern is for the health and welfare of our students, staff, and families,” the school said. “Please respect the privacy of all these parties. Contributing to rumors and suspicions profits no one and contributes only to the hardships experienced by those impacted.”
“It should be self-evident to say that this incident is heart rending for all involved,” the statement continued. “This includes especially the families directly impacted. We have prayed for them and encouraged our entire school family to hold them up in their personal prayers. This situation is easy for no one; there are only degrees of difficulty.”
