Glidden-Ralston Superintendent Thomas Ridder says the school is investigating a reported incident that allegedly occurred between students last week. Ridder confirmed a “situation” that involved students in the district, but cannot provide any further information due to student privacy concerns.
Ridder says administration is aware of information that is being shared on social media and wants to clarify that the individuals involved were contacted, the incident is being investigated, and school officials are being as transparent as policy allows on issues involving students.
Carroll County Sheriff Ken Pingrey says, “We are aware of the complaint in question and are currently investigating.” Due to the ongoing nature of the inquiry, he could not provide further information. Ridder says safety is a main priority at Glidden-Ralston and reassures parents there is no need to worry about their students.
Parents with concerns are encouraged to contact Ridder for further discussion, and his contact points can be found included below.
