Dear Burncoat Street Preparatory School Community,
This is Principal Emily Plante writing to inform you of an incident that was brought to our attention today.
This afternoon, we received a call about the incorrect positioning of the American Flag on our school’s flagpole. We immediately took corrective action, lowering the flag and restoring it to its proper position.
This situation is one of human error and was not done intentionally. The flagpole was being examined for maintenance reasons, which was why the flag was adjusted.
I want to be clear this incident is not a reflection of the political beliefs of our school staff or Worcester Public Schools; it was simple human error. Our school community represents many different perspectives and opinions and we remain respectful of those. Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Emily Plante
Principal
Burncoat Street Preparatory School
