A Message from the Superintendent

This morning the United States was the victim of terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. None of these attacks was anywhere near the Cincinnati area, and we are very safe in our community and in our schools.

As a sign of respect for those innocent Americans who lost their lives, we have put our district flags at half-mast. We are also canceling all evening school-related activities.

It is important that those who cowardly attacked our cities know that the nation will not be brought to a standstill by terrorist acts. Accordingly, schools will be in session as usual tomorrow. Business as usual is our answer.

You are encouraged to pray for those injured, those who lost their lives, and for their families and friends at the time of national tragedy.

Dr. Gerald Harris
