Dear
Students,
Parents,
and
Staff:
The
purpose
of
this
letter
is
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
school’s
response
to
the
bomb
threat
message
that
was
received
on
Wednesday,
May
26,
2010.
First
of
all,
again
I
commend
our
students,
staff,
Wootton
Boosters,
and
emergency
personnel
for
their
resilience
and
cooperation
in
how
they
responded
to
the
situation.
As
you
may
be
aware,
twenty
‐
four
students
were
treated
on
‐
site
by
emergency
medical
technicians
for
various
heat
related
illnesses.
All
twenty
‐
four
students
were
released
with
no
additional
complications.
There
were
no
students
transported
to
the
hospital.
Additionally,
as
a
precaution
and
for
assistance,
students
with
existing
medical
needs
were
directed
to
the
front
of
the
building
near
the
emergency
medical
team
that
was
on
‐
site.
The
safety
and
security
of
students
and
staff
is
always
my
number
one
priority.
Some
persons
may
question
why
we
did
not
go
to
Wootton’s
auditorium
to
hold
the
students.
Our
evacuation
plan
provides
for
us
to
secure
shelter
at
Wootton
High
School.
The
emergency
officials
informed
me
that
we
would
most
likely
be
able
to
return
to
the
building
within
30
to
45
minutes.
Therefore,
it
was
not
safe
to
walk
1300
students
and
staff
to
Wootton
and
then
immediately
have
to
turn
around
and
return
to
our
building.
Unfortunately
the
determination
that
it
was
safe
to
return
to
the
building
took
longer
than
expected.
During
the
evacuation
period
we
continued
to
monitor
our
students’
well
being
and
provide
them
assistance
as
needed.
I
will
inform
you
of
appropriate
information
regarding
the
continuing
investigation
of
the
bomb
threat
as
it
becomes
available.
Additionally,
I
am
re
‐
printing
the
connect
‐
ed
message
sent
yesterday,
on
the
back
of
this
letter.
Again,
I
want
to
assure
you
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
do
to
ensure
a
safe
learning
environment.
Please
call
me
if
you
have
any
questions.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support.
Sincerely,
Dr.
Joey
N.
