Need required school immunizations or a health assessment? 👀 Our Health Fair is this Saturday, April 29th at the Alamance County Health Department from 9 AM to Noon.
ABSS Statement Regarding Teacher Arrest:
There is no greater priority than the health, safety, and welfare of our children. To that end, the Alamance-Burlington School System is cooperating fully with the Alamance County Sheriff's Office as part of an ongoing investigation involving alleged misconduct by a Southern Middle School teacher.
We are committed to the success of all our students and expect all staff members to uphold that commitment each and every day.
The employee in question is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by both law enforcement and District administration.
We are unable to provide further comment, as this is a personnel issue.
You make it look easy. Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Thanks for all you do for our staff, students, and families. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
