Dear Parents/Guardians,
As a follow-up to the incident at Stratton two weeks ago, I wanted you to be aware that there was a hearing today before a Clerk Magistrate in the Cambridge District Court for a show cause hearing related to the incident. We have been informed that the application for the criminal complaint has been denied because of the finding that there was no probable cause, essentially the charge was dismissed.
As this incident demonstrated, the School Department and Arlington Police work together closely. I appreciate and thank them for their assistance and support.
Our concern from the beginning was that the students and staff at Stratton were and remain safe - and we are assured that this has been the case.
