Official Statement from Winnsboro ISD Board of Trustees
To: Winnsboro ISD Community
From: The Winnsboro ISD School Board
Recently, you may have heard about allegations regarding Winnsboro ISD that happened last school year. We would like nothing more than to share important details with our community; however, state law prohibits us from discussing anything surrounding the allegations, including the student involved, former employees, or district personnel.
Your Board of Trustees and Winnsboro ISD leaders stand committed to sharing the truth if and when the law allows. We caution others who are perpetuating misinformation or distraction from the facts that by doing so, they may open themselves and others to future liability.
Please know, as we navigate this very frustrating situation, that we are praying for all involved and want to reassure our parents and community that today, class is in session. Our teachers are teaching, our principals are focused on their students and staff, and your Board is focused on governing your school district. We will not allow this to distract us from the main thing, which is educating and caring for each and every one of our students in Winnsboro ISD.
Great things are still happening in our schools!
