The following is the text of a letter sent to parents today from Superintendent Debbie Thompson about a suspicious incident yesterday in Metamora Township.
October 21, 2010
Dear Parents,
Today we became aware of a suspicious incident that was reported to the Metamora Township Police Department yesterday.
A female student was walking near Sutton Road and Metamora Road at about 2:25 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon and was offered a ride by a man in a newer, light-green pickup truck with an extended cab. The girl went to a nearby home and called 911.
The man was reported to be a clean-shaven, chubby white male in his mid-30s with short brownish-blond hair.
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
Sincerely,
Debbie Thompson
Superintendent
