Dear Scorpions Parents and Guardians,
Today, we received an alleged report regarding a threat toward a teacher that was said to have occurred several weeks ago. This information is being taken very seriously and is currently under investigation in collaboration with the Phoenix Police Department.
We want to clarify that the alleged report did not indicate a threat toward students. At this time, the investigation is ongoing, and there is no confirmed information to indicate an immediate concern.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We will continue to work closely with law enforcement and will share additional information as appropriate.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Beechum
