Amid controversy over a school threat, Trussville city school officials say they are taking some initial steps to improve communication, school safety and support services.
Now, the school board is working to identify an interim superintendent and lay out a road map for future changes to how the district assesses threats and other safety issues.– which contained the names of 37 students he allegedly wanted to kill – but did not notify parents or other staff until the student apparently again threatened to harm others.
Some said they failed to receive any communication from the district about the incident until days later. Others brought up longstanding concerns about communication, transparency and accountability among system leaders like Superintendent Pattie Neill. Kim DeShazo, the board’s vice president, said the board consulted with the Alabama Association of School Boards on a list of candidates and will make a determination later. Board members said they felt an external candidate would be a needed voice, and would also limit the need to shift too many duties around.
