Parent Reports Class "Left Behind" During Evac

An SPHS parent is reporting that an entire class allegedly was "left behind" yesterday when the high school was locked down and later evacuated.

The parent, who wishes to remain anonymous, said in an e-mail that she was furious upon learning that her child's class never knew about the evacuation due to an allegedly defective public address system.

According to the parent, the teacher and students never knew about the evacuation until after the remaining students had cleared the building and a janitor noticed one of the students at the doorway.

The parent questioned the procedures used by the school system and how an entire class could be missing without anyone noticing, asking "How in the world could they miss this?"

07080 has e-mailed schools Superintendent Jose Negron to verify the incident and seek comment.  This post will be updated with his response.
