Whistleblower: 'We are frozen in time'
Leah OlajideGood morning! Today is Tuesday and I can't believe it's almost the month of December ...
Ethan Crumbley should have been sent home on the fateful day he killed four students and injured seven others, two whistleblowers say. But he wasn't — and now former Oxford school board President Tom Donnelly and Treasurer Korey Bailey have spoken up, saying the threat assessment policy in place for the school district was ignored.
At a press conference on Monday, Donnelly and Bailey said Crumbley was mishandled twice within a 24-hour time period, after being caught caught researching bullets on his cellphone in school.
We have more in our story on the district's policy, and the frustrated whistleblowers who have broken their silence.
