Snopes contacted Juneau School District Superintendent Bridget Weiss to determine why there was such a delay in notifying parent. We did not receive a response to our specific question, but were told the Juneau Board of Education held a meeting on June 17 to discuss the “tragedy” involving the food services contractor Nana Management Services . We were sent this statement:

The Juneau School District is committed to implementing all changes necessary to reassure children and families and regain trust moving forward. This includes our communication protocols. The District also takes its communications protocols seriously and I as Superintendent apologizes for the delays that regretfully occurred on Tuesday, June14th. As we learn more about what happened during this event, both in food service and in the communication that day, we will continue to improve.

We also contacted the Juneau Police Department for an update in the ongoing investigation. Special Operations Lieutenant Krag Campbell confirmed that an investigation is active and ongoing. “The toxicity of the substance is a concern and I’m thankful that the kids didn’t get sicker than they did, but that’s not part of the problem. Part of the problem is that they were served something they weren’t supposed to ingest and then we weren’t told about it,” she added.
