I know that there are many questions about this situation. I would like to invite all parents and community members to a special town hall meeting this Wednesday, December 19^th at 6:30 PM in the Middle School Auditorium.  Members of the Amherst Police will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about the investigation to the extent they can while in the midst of a working investigation.  Members of our administrative team will provide information and answer questions about what is being done in response to this situation.
