Humble reaches out to parents, students
Superintendent Bob Humble has sent a letter to all parents of students in the district.
“Sidney City Schools has been made aware of an attempted suicide of one of our students. This is something we take very seriously. While this is a fragile situation, our district’s administration is reaching out to the family of the student to gather more information to ensure student wellness. We ask that you please keep this student in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote Humble.
“If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the following national resources can be used,” he continued:
Resident questions mask inconsistencies
SIDNEY Sidney City Schools Superintendent Bob Humble was questioned about Jessica DeWeese’s comment via an email.
Humble said the district is following Gov. Mike DeWine’s guidelines for who should be wearing a face mask. He added that “only people with a medical exemption from an actual medical doctor” don’t have to wear a mask during the school day.
Humble said the district doesn’t plan to change the guidelines it is following as ordered by the governor.
“I believe everyone that is supposed to be wearing a mask is doing so. With the change to quarantining from the governor yesterday (Wednesday) it is even more essential that students wear masks so that they will not have to be quarantined any longer from a classroom setting,” Humble said.
