Dear Central Middle School Community,
I am very pleased to announce that Ms. Shelley Somers will return to work tomorrow morning as
Principal of Central Middle School.
The investigation involving Ms. Somers and the childcare center that she operated in Granby, CT has been completed to our satisfaction.
When the newspaper story broke on October 6, 2011, we asked Ms. Somers to explain the
circumstances surrounding the information contained in the article. While we trusted Ms. Somers’ account, we were obligated to conduct a thorough investigation to corroborate the information that she shared with us, as well as that which had appeared in the news media. As part of the investigation, we received documents from the Connecticut Department of Health today, which showed no evidence of anything that would refute the events of 1995 as related by Ms. Somers.
Ms. Somers has acknowledged making a mistake. She has already paid a high price for that mistake.
Since that time she has had an exemplary career as an educator and has garnered the support of the central middle school community and her colleagues in the Greenwich Public Schools.
Therefore, we trust that you will join us in welcoming her back to Central.
Therefore, we trust that you will join us in welcoming her back to Central.
Sincerely,
Roger Lulow
