“We want to extend our condolences to the family of Jamarcus Bell. This is a tragic loss touching many in our district and community. We have plans in place for these situations and will implement them Monday as we return from fall break to support our students and staff touched by this.

Events like these cause all of us to wonder what might have led to this tragedy. As we learn more about the situation, we will be prepared to examine any circumstances that warrant our review.
