January 22, 2024

Today, during the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) meeting, we unfortunately experienced an incident that required our immediate attention and action.

Regrettably, some attendees during the online meeting displayed inappropriate content on their screens instead of identifying themselves or using a blank screen. We want to express our sincere apologies for any discomfort or offense this may have caused to those present during the meeting.

We understand the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment during all school-related activities, and we take this matter very seriously. Our team is currently investigating the incident, and we will be taking appropriate actions.

The meeting is being recorded and will be posted on the SHAC website as normal. 

We want to assure you that we are committed to maintaining a positive and inclusive environment for all participants in our school community. Incidents like this do not reflect the values of our school district, and we are dedicated to taking steps to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

El día de hoy, durante la reunión del Consejo Asesor de Salud Escolar (SHAC, por sus siglas en inglés), lamentablemente hemos experimentado un incidente que ha requerido nuestra atención y acción inmediatas.

Lamentablemente, algunos asistentes durante la reunión en línea mostraron contenido inapropiado en sus pantallas en lugar de identificarse o utilizar una pantalla en blanco. Queremos expresar nuestras más sinceras disculpas por cualquier molestia u ofensa que esto haya podido causar a los presentes durante la reunión.

Somos conscientes de la importancia de mantener un entorno seguro y respetuoso durante todas las actividades relacionadas con la escuela, y nos tomamos este asunto con seriedad. Nuestro equipo está investigando el incidente y tomaremos las medidas correspondientes.

La reunión se está grabando y se publicará en el sitio web de la SHAC con normalidad. 

Queremos asegurarles que nos comprometemos a mantener un entorno positivo e integrador para todos los participantes en nuestra comunidad escolar. Incidentes como este no reflejan los valores de nuestro distrito escolar, y estamos dedicados a tomar medidas para prevenir este tipo de incidentes en el futuro.

Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación.
