HANSON — Whitman-Hanson Regional School District Superintendent Jeffrey Szymaniak and Hanson Police Chief Michael Miksch report that racist graffiti was found outside the Indian Head Elementary School this week.
During an open house event on Tuesday, Aug. 31, a parent noticed the graffiti on a light pole outside the school. The parent then reported it to a police officer on detail.
The Whitman-Hanson Regional School District and Hanson Police are actively investigating the situation.
“We take this situation very seriously and want the community to know that what was found at the school this week in no way reflects the values and principles of our schools or the community as a whole,” Superintendent Szymaniak said. “We strive to make the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District an open and inclusive place for all, and if any student, parent or community member would like to discuss this or any other issue with us we encourage them to reach out to us immediately.”
