Public comment: parent alleges student sexual assaults during district program and criticizes district response

During the meeting’s general public‑comment period a speaker identifying himself as Aaron (no last name given in the record) accused the district of failing to provide a safe environment and criticized the district’s handling of what he described as repeated sexual assaults against his daughter while she was participating in a district summer ESY program.

The speaker said the assaults occurred when his daughter was in eighth grade and alleged the attacker had been classified as emotionally disturbed. He described repeated assaults and said the family sought a safe school placement rather than legal action but felt the district required them to sign an agreement. "The district's position was that Naya was not a credible witness," the speaker said referencing the district's prior communications with his family (name used by speaker; not independently verified in the meeting).

Board leadership enforced the stated three‑minute public‑comment limit and eventually cut the speaker off when he exceeded that time. Solicitor Michael Musso and trustees did not address the specific allegations during the meeting, and the board noted that the prior executive session discussed confidential information about an individual student and could not be discussed publicly.

The board did not take action during the meeting in response to these public allegations. The superintendent and solicitor reminded the public that personnel and student‑confidential matters are handled in executive session and are not discussed in open session.
