To the Memphis-Shelby County Schools Family,
Following the traumatic events that unfolded yesterday in our community, I wanted to pause and take a moment this morning to address and reassure our families and employees.
Out of an abundance of caution, we have heightened safety and security awareness districtwide today, and we will continue to monitor and provide additional support to our schools.
We understand that our students and staff may be upset and confused by what occurred—I believe the whole city is shaken—and we will encourage thoughtful discussion with a focus toward healing. We have counselors, social workers, and mental health supports to assist our students and families.
I thank you for your ongoing support and partnership as we move forward together.
