Message to the Tower Hill Community February 7, 2014

Harry Baetjer, Head of School
Dear Tower Hill community member,

We wanted to update the community on the status of several topics.

The case review hearing for former headmaster Chris Wheeler has been moved to Monday, February 10. At that session, a trial date may be assigned, and we understand that it is unlikely that Dr. Wheeler will appear in court. We have also learned that there may be local media about the case.

Following the completion of our preliminary security evaluation and the installation of additional security measures over the December holiday break, a comprehensive security assessment will be conducted before the end of this month.

Progress continues on the selection of an independent investigator and a search consultant for the headmaster position. When additional information is available, we will share it with you.

Finally, the winter weather has made it challenging for everyone. I would like to thank all of you for your patience, flexibility and the extra effort you have made to ensure that your children are at school during this time.

Sincerely,

Harry Baetjer
Head of School
