Dear Parents,

I know many of you have been following the news story about a shooting that took place last night in Harvest. The alleged shooter is Dr. Fitzgerald McQueen, a fifth grade teacher at Heritage.

We have been in contact with the Madison County Sheriff?s department. They informed us that Dr. McQueen has been charged with first degree assault. The sheriff?s office is working with the Madison County District Attorney?s office and there is an ongoing investigation. Since this is an active investigation, I cannot comment on this terrible situation except to say that Dr. McQueen has been placed on paid administrative leave.

Short term solutions for Dr. McQueen?s classes have been set into motion and long term plans are being made. Dr. Nelson, the principal at Heritage, is committed to providing the best solution to these challenges and working to ensure that there are no gaps in teaching and learning. She will be sending an email to the parents of Heritage Elementary School students later today.

This is a very sad event.

How do you feel about the father’s actions??
