[Needham Public Schools Superintendent's Update]

Dear Needham Public Schools Families:


I am writing to notify you that a Needham High School teacher has been
charged with the possession of child pornography.  Please read this statement
to the community
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PZ5yxK0GWEI0hZN_YeGrFk7ly0Jm4Wdy/view?usp=sharing>
 for more information.

I  want to reassure families and students that the police are not aware of
any Needham High School or Needham Public students’ wellbeing or safety
being in jeopardy.

In the days ahead the staff at the High School, led by Principal Aaron
Sicotte, will provide additional updates and information, including how we
will support our grades 9-12 students and staff as they come to learn about
and process this disturbing information. Should your child, who may learn
about this news, require any support or guidance upon returning to school,
please let your school principal or guidance counselor know.

Respectfully,


Dan Gutekanst
Superintendent of Schools
Needham Public Schools
1330 Highland Avenue, Needham, MA 02492
*He/His/Him*
781-455-0400 x11203
