'Zero tolerance for insubordination'

News release from Lourdes High School...we'd heard some rumblings about this and will be pursuing:

LHS PARENTS: Your Attention is Requested

Dear LHS Parents:

Thank you for the telephone calls and emails regarding the recent announcement of Mrs. Weedman's departure from Rochester Catholic Schools. This decision was made after careful consideration with both legal and spiritual consultation. It is understood that this may be an unpopular or confusing situation, but please understand that we are not at liberty to discuss the private and confidential facts which have led to Mrs. Weedman's separation of employment and we will not do so.

It has come to our attention that a protest or demonstration may occur in response. While we are sensitive to the needs and concerns of the student body, there will be zero tolerance for insubordination to faculty, staff and administration. Furthermore, any students who disrupt the learning environment at Lourdes High School and/or are absent from class due to their involvement in any protest or demonstration, will face appropriate disciplinary action.

Again, thank you very much for your support and prayers as we move through this together. We acknowledge that this is a challenging time, and are resolved in our commitment to providing Catholic education of the highest quality. We kindly thank you for your attention to this matter and your cooperation.

Respectfully,

Suzanne Lagerwaard
Principal, Lourdes High School

Michael Brennan
RCS Director of Schools
