As parents and concerned citizens we ask that the board of education in MSAD 11 recognize the need for a policy to be established regarding parent notification of the occurrence of the use of a Taser, physical restraint and/or force used within our public school building or on public school property as a result of a violent disruption in normal school activity. Parent notification can be achieved in the same manner as would a school closure announcement via email and/or use of cell phone text and voice mail messenger using a prerecorded message from the presiding superintendent.
