Video paints false narrative

Dear Editor:

There is a snippet of a video circulating involving an Enterprise High School student and an administrator that paints a false narrative from Feb. 9. This video clip does not show the circumstances surrounding or leading up to this unfortunate incident. The administrator in question utilized nonviolent crisis intervention strategies and techniques in an effort to de-escalate a volatile situation.

After a thorough investigation, the actions taken by the EHS administrator were appropriate given the circumstances. This administrator put his own health at risk by intervening to ensure the safety and wellbeing of others.
