Jerry Keane Quotations

I hate to see any test be a high-stakes test. Some students are good test-takers, others are not. (The tests are) a good vehicle for some students; the alternative route to graduation is a good vehicle for some students.

It is my understanding the student told other students that he had a gun, but he didn't have a gun of any kind. We didn't feel there was an immediate threat, but we're certainly taking this seriously and the comment was out of line and will not be tolerated.

We'll work with the parents and the student on this. We'll certainly give the student the advice and support he needs to avoid such a problem in the future. We'll definitely have some remediation in what's not appropriate to say.

There was absolutely no truth to what was said.

There's no way we can ignore any comment of this kind.
