"While there is no indication that any one person understood the egregious acts being committed by the former principal, our administration, faculty and staff have no higher obligation than making sure our students are safe. We are working diligently and collaboratively with all of our stakeholder groups to ensure that to the extent warning signs of child abuse exist, individuals are knowledgeable about them, bring concerns forward through appropriate reporting channels, and that meaningful follow-up steps are taken. This requires a culture of shared purpose, knowledge, trust, respect, and open and honest communication. The Board is committed to ensuring that this culture exists throughout the District. Moving forward, we will continue to reinforce our policies, practices, human resources functions and training to keep Hilton students safe so we never are in this situation again."
