Another misperception is that somehow student rights are trampled on
whenever we undertake an investigation. Although I can only speak to my
administration, at no time has a student's right to due process ever
been ignored. The word interrogation has been used by some to describe
these investigations. By definition, to interrogate means to question
somebody closely, often in an aggressive manner. Respectfully, I take
strong exception to this mischaracterization of our investigations.

The
Duxbury Public Schools takes an important step forward this month in
implementing a new automated communications service called Connect-Ed.
Connect-Ed is primarily about the safety of our students. Last year, as
we gathered data for the strategic plan, we saw that school safety
continued to be an important topic for staff, students and families.
Our objective for this year was to explore opportunities to improve
school safety and communications. An automated phone calling system is
one of the areas we researched.
