Students and parents addressed the school board to share how the traumatic event impacted them and to ask what is being done about it.One student stated, nearly breaking down, "We had to sit there and watch them clean up her blood off the table and ground and I will never forget that."Another student added, "The fact that the kids had to experience that – we are young. We’re in middle school. We’re not supposed to be seeing these things.
The superintendent addressed the attack at the beginning of the meeting, saying the victim is out of the hospital and recovering at home."This should not have happened, period. Such behavior has no place in our schools," Superintendent Todd Bauer stated. "You expect better. We expect better and certainly I do, as well.
