As Superintendent of Wilkinsburg Borough School District, my primary responsibility is to lead our district in a way that promotes a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students, families, and staff.
I understand that recent personal statements I made on social media regarding political issues have raised concerns, and I take full responsibility for their impact. Simply put, I should have known better. As the leader of this district, I recognize that my words and actions must reflect the values of our diverse community, respecting the views and perspectives of all students, staff, and families, regardless of their individual beliefs.
The district and its board of directors is taking this matter seriously, and we would ask that citizens who have concerns raise them at our public meetings, a list of which you can find on our website. Repeated phone calls from outside the district only serve as a drain on district staff and resources.
I appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns and want to reaffirm my unwavering commitment to serving this community with integrity, transparency, and a focused dedication to our shared educational mission.
