[Superintendent's Update] Important Message for NPS Families

[Needham Public Schools Superintendent's Update]

Dear Needham Public Schools Families:

Earlier today I was notified that a Needham Extended Day Program (NEDP)
employee at Eliot Elementary School was arrested on child pornography
charges and faced arraignment in District Court this morning. Please read
this statement to the community
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QNorTywmMlpmtMSDA4FgB7prdEgdSOnCFtB2Ed1jPEs/edit?usp=sharing>
for
more information.

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

An opportunity for a virtual family meeting to discuss how the district is
managing this situation and supporting students will be forthcoming
within the day.

Respectfully,

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