Today, on Patriot Day, Chester County School District (CCSD) joins communities across our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honoring the bravery of the first responders, service members, and ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.

As educators, we recognize the importance of preserving the lessons of that day for future generations. Patriot Day reminds us of the strength found in unity, the power of service, and the resilience of the American spirit. We encourage our students, staff, and families to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made and the values that continue to bring us together.

May we never forget those we lost, and may we continue to inspire our students with a commitment to compassion, service, and citizenship.

Please be advised that over the next three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, August 18-20, Chester County School District will conduct required lockdown drills at each of our schools. During these drills, you may notice an increased law enforcement presence on campus.

These drills are part of our safety and security procedures and are designed to help students and staff understand what to do in the event of an actual emergency requiring a lockdown. State requirements call for schools to conduct two lockdown drills each year.

The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and these drills help ensure that everyone is prepared should an emergency occur.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Today, we recognize and honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom and a reminder of the ongoing work toward equity, understanding, and justice for all. It is a time to reflect on the past, honor the resilience of those who endured, and recommit ourselves to building communities rooted in dignity and opportunity.

We encourage everyone to take time today to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations about history and progress as we continue working toward a more inclusive future for all.

The Chester County School District has been made aware of the arrest of a Lewisville Middle School teacher yesterday evening in Rock Hill, SC. The District will follow all protocols regarding incidents of this nature and is in full cooperation with law enforcement officials. The District can confirm the incident occurred off-site and away from school facilities, and there is no indication that any CCSD student was involved.

In accordance with district policy, the individual in question has been placed on administrative leave. As part of the process, CCSD will conduct its own internal investigation parallel to law enforcement.

Due to the active investigation and privacy considerations related to a personnel matter involving a criminal charge, the District will not make additional comments at this time. Any additional questions regarding the criminal investigation will be directed to the Rock Hill Police Department.

We understand that this situation is concerning to our staff, families, and community. The safety of our schools remains a top priority and the District takes matters of this nature seriously.
