This event created a significant number of <br /> emotions rongingfrom anger to anxiety to sorrow. <br /> I have withheld public comment on the recent events regarding the attack on the Capitol <br /> and our response as a school district, because,frankly, I have struggled on what to say. I <br /> have written and rewritten my words several times over the last few days. Each time[feel <br /> that I have the right words, something else happens which creates pause in my remarks.I <br /> have listened openly to parents, teachers, administrators, community members, and <br /> members of the Reading Police Department about what transpired, both in our country <br /> and in our community. These conversations have been emotional at times and there has <br /> clearly been many points of views expressed.After listening to all these stakeholders and <br /> reflecting on what I should say as the leader of this school district, I have concluded that <br /> we all need to pause and take a breath before it is too late. <br /> Page 1 2 <br />
