Dear Coyle Public Schools Families,
We want to make our families aware that we are responding to a serious and tragic incident that occurred this morning in the Meridian area and involved four of our Coyle students.
Thankfully, all four of our students are safe. Given the traumatic and graphic nature of the incident, including the fact that some of our students took action to contact authorities and assist during the situation, we recognize that this may have a lasting emotional impact on them and others who may have witnessed or been affected by what occurred.
We have been in direct contact with the families of the four students involved, and our staff has been notified so that we can provide appropriate support and care. Additional support will be available at school tomorrow for these students and for any other student who may need assistance processing what happened. We encourage students to talk with a trusted adult if they are struggling or simply need someone to listen.
We have also been in communication with the Logan County Sheriff's Office regarding the incident and any road closures or other conditions in the area that may have affected afternoon bus routes.
Our priority is, as always, the safety and well-being of our students and families. We ask our school community to respect the privacy of the students and families involved and to allow them the time and space they need to process this difficult experience.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by today's events. We are grateful for the students who had the courage to seek help and for the first responders and law enforcement officers who responded.
We are Coyle, and we will take care of our own.
Sincerely,
Colby Cagle - Superintendent
Coyle Public Schools
