Dear Massapequa High School Parents/Guardians,
Over the past several days, rumors and social media posts have continued to circulate regarding an incident that occurred earlier this week during first period at Massapequa High School. Regrettably, many of the claims being shared have significantly distorted reality, including false allegations suggesting violent intent.
To be absolutely clear: We have no knowledge or reason to believe that at any time was any student doused with gasoline, nor that such an act was threatened. To this end, we have communicated with our partners at the Nassau County Police Department who have informed us that they believe the rumors being spread on social media regarding this incident are untrue.
While we understand that situations involving students can generate concern and discussion, we urge our community to act responsibly before sharing or reposting unverified information online. Regardless of individual opinions on the matter, the rumors currently being circulated involve a child, and the spreading of deliberately false information can cause real harm to students, families and the broader school community.
Please be aware that knowingly spreading false information, particularly allegations involving criminal or violent conduct, may expose individuals to legal liability from the persons they are spreading such false information about.
We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of our families and community members as we continue to address this matter appropriately, responsibly and with the well-being of all students at the forefront of all decisions.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
William Brennan, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
