Dear Gervais School District Community Members,
At the July 2024 City Council meeting there were several statements made with regard to the Student Support Officer (SSO) agreement  between the City and the District. This then carried over into social media platforms that included questions with regard to the District paying bills on time and being a good partner with the City.
The District will not be able to comment on topics that appear on community operated social media pages because of the sheer number of people who have been blocked from the sites. It is impossible for the district to navigate all those pages and comments in an attempt to respond to questions posed by the community. The District will use it’s Facebook pages for that purpose since we do not block people ensuring everyone has access to the information at the same time.
Attached here is a link to the information sent to the City Monday evening via email and then hand delivered in three separately addressed envelopes to the appropriate parties. As of this morning, the District continues to receive no response.
The District is committed to working together with the City so that we may begin the school year with all of the appropriate supports in place for staff and students.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school district directly.
Sincerely,
Dandy Stevens
Superintendent
