Lock Down Letter Sent to Parents

This is the Letter that was sent home to parents yesterday.

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Lisbon School Department

Richard A. Green, Interim Superintendent

October 14, 2009

Dear Parents,

This letter is intended to provide detailed information regarding the ordered lock-down at all three schools yesterday afternoon. The Lisbon Police Department contacted the High School and Middle school immediately after a robbery was reported at the Androscoggin Bank around 1:30 P.M. As a safety precaution, the Lisbon Police Department also ordered a lock-down at the Lisbon Community School around 1:45 P.M. The lock-down order was removed at all three schools around 2:05 P.M. which is close to the regular dismissal time for the High School and Middle School. Specific details about the incident were not available until 6:00 P.M. last evening when I received an informal report. Detective Bernie McAllister of the Lisbon Police Department informed us today that an arrest has been made.

The safety of our students is our utmost concern. I want to thank the Lisbon Police Department, Students and Staff for their cooperation. Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s school office with any questions or concerns related to this incident.

Sincerely,

Richard A. Green

Interim Superintendent of Schools
