MUSD responds to abuse allegations

350

The Maricopa Unified School District is committed to the safety and well-being of each child that we serve.

A recent editorial letter submitted to local media sources (See Mom seeks to destroy vicious cycle of child molestation) stated that the District was negligent in reporting an incident of abuse against a student in our after school program this past summer.

No evidence from the District’s internal investigation or from the Maricopa Police Department ‘s subsequent investigation substantiated any of those allegations.

As stated originally every child is valued in our District, and we are prepared to take action against any threat to that safety. Actions though must be based on fact.

The District maintains an open-door policy for all parental/custodial concerns, and we are committed to a fair and equitable resolution of any issue pertaining to student safety.
