Alexander Public Schools

Press release by Superintendent Bieber issued in today's McKenzie County Farmer: On Monday, April 15, 2024, an incident occurred within one classroom of the Alexander School. Inappropriate conduct by students occurred, that did impact the safety of other students in the room, while unfortunately, there appears to have been a lack of adequate adult supervision. Later that evening, I sent a statement out stating that at no time was there a threat to the safety of our students, faculty, or staff. I admit it was a poor choice of words. It was not my intent to diminish the impact on the students in the room or the conduct of other students. My intention was to convey that there was no ongoing threat to safety, based on response actions taken by the school and law enforcement earlier in the day. An individual has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the concerns that a teacher failed to adequately supervise the classroom. The District takes all complaints against personnel and others in the building very seriously and follows applicable District policies and procedures when responding to and investigating complaints. The District wants all staff and students feeling safe and comfortable in our educational and working environments and encourages anyone with a concern about this or any matter to contact a school administrator. Ultimately, please know the District considers the safety of staff and students to be our utmost priority. We will continue to work hard to ensure a safe environment exists and wish to work with the community to make Alexander School better together.
