School District of the City of Pontiac

Kelley Williams, Office of the Superintendent 

April 26, 2019

Dear Pontiac School District families,

At the Pontiac School District, the safety of our students, staff and families is our number one priority. We wanted to
inform you about a lawsuit that was recently filed against the district which falsely alleges sexual misconduct on
school property and falsely accuses the district of trying to keep this information from coming to public light. In the
spirit of transparency, we wanted to bring you the facts.

At the Pontiac School District, we do not tolerate inappropriate behavior of any kind by our students, staff, families
or visitors and we thoroughly investigate any such allegations, partnering with local law enforcement when
appropriate. In this particular case, all allegations were thoroughly investigated in partnership with police and in
accordance with district protocols, procedures and policies. Both the internal investigation and the police
investigation into these matters found the allegations were without merit.

We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in court against this baseless lawsuit and we are confident we will prevail.
Meanwhile, we will not be distracted from our mission of educating our kids and preparing them for college or
careers.

Again, the safety of our students, staff and families is our number one priority at the Pontiac School District. Please
do not hesitate to contact my office directly with any questions or concerns about this matter. As always, it is an
honor serving as your superintendent.

Sincerely,
Kelley Williams, Superintendent
Pontiac School District
