Were I not convinced that Jack Will is extremely sorry for his actions, and were I not confident that he would not repeat those actions,
rest assured that I would not be allowing him back to Beecher Prep.
As for your other concerns regarding our new student August, please note that he does not have special needs.
He is neither disabled, handicapped, nor developmentally delayed in any way,
so there was no reason to assume anyone would take issue with his admittance to Beecher Prep—whether it is an inclusion school or not.
In terms of the application process, the admissions director and I both felt it within our right
to hold the interview off-site at August’s home for reasons that are obvious.
We felt that this slight break in protocol was warranted but in no way prejudicial—in one way or another—to the application review.
August is an extremely good student, and has secured the friendship of some truly exceptional young people, including Jack Will.
At the beginning of the school year, when I enlisted certain children to be a “welcoming committee” to August,
I did so as a way of easing his transition into a school environment.
I did not think asking these children to be especially kind to a new student would place any extra “burdens or hardships” on them.
