“Hazelwood owes the parents of the district and the entire community an explanation as to what role these radical programs and safety failures played here,” Bailey’s staff said to Fox News Digital, emphasizing that this is the focus of the investigation.
Bailey sent a letter to Hazelwood School District Superintendent Dr. Nettie Collins-Hart in which he stated that he was disturbed to see that the school district had ignored long-standing Missouri law and elevated political narrative above student safety. (hazelwoodschools.org/Google Maps)
