Superintendent Anthony Hamlet met with teachers to hear their concerns and figure out what can be done to improve issues at the school.

A second teacher was injured days later in an unrelated incident involving a student.

“I thought the meeting went well. You heard a lot of ideas, a lot of emotions,” Hamlet said. “I wanted to make sure I went to the staff themselves. I didn’t want this to be a top down solution.”

Hamlet said he wants to bring in additional behavioral specialists to help the teachers and students.
