""Let me be direct: racist language was used against students in our school. That is not a gray area, and no one on this committee or in district leadership is treating it as one. Our first obligation, before academics and before anything else, is that every student has a safe place to learn. And if any student does not feel like that, we have work to do.""
""I'm the leader of the district, and responsibility and accountability starts with me - for what has happened, for where we are now and, most importantly at this point, for steps to be taken going forward.""
