Dear Families of the Philomath School District: 
As superintendent of this amazing and resilient district, | want to take the opportunity to provide you with some clarity for the upcoming week. In light of recent media attention, related to social media statements made by a member of the Philomath School Board, I'd like to reassure you that we are taking every necessary measure to maintain a safe and secure environment for students. With hints at further media attention and possible protests, know that the safety of your children is paramount.
