    Dear Brentwood Community,

    This letter will refer to a topic that is difficult to imagine, but one that must be addressed.
    Recently, the Brentwood School District received an anonymous letter of past allegations from a self-
    identified former student, of sexual abuse by a District staff member. In response to the letter, the
    District notified the appropriate authorities and the allegations are currently under investigation. The
    staff member has been reassigned and is not working directly with students pending the outcome of the
    investigation. Child abuse in any form, especially that of a sexual nature, should be exposed and
    individuals proven to engage in such actions must be held accountable to the maximum extent allowed
    by law. There should be zero tolerance.

    Schools must be a place where parents can trust that their children will be safe, second only to the safety
    of their own homes. It is the responsibility of our schools to honor and uphold that trust. While we are
    proud to say that our schools are safe for the overwhelming majority of our students, allegations of
    abuse against even one of our students is unsettling and unacceptable. Please understand that this
    statement is not intended to imply that our schools are not safe – we are grateful to all staff members
    who serve and protect our students - but we want to send a clear message, that our resolve is to ensure
    our schools are safe for each and every student at every moment they are in our care.

    Sexual abuse does not have boundaries and can occur on or off a school campus. Most school district
    staff are NYS mandated reporters. While this places a legal obligation to report such behavior, this
    should not be the only reason to be forthcoming. We ask that parents/guardians and students do the
    same; if you see or hear something, say something. Daunting as it may be, we ask that your decision to
    step forward and report this type of behavior be led by an understanding of the unconscionable severity
    of this type of abuse. We ask that you reflect on the lifelong trauma that will be endured by the victims
    against whom these crimes are committed.

    The Brentwood School District Board of Education is committed to providing for the safety and well-
    being of every student we serve. Although this is our unquestionable intent, we cannot do this alone. We
    implore that anyone who has information regarding wrongdoing, especially that of a sexual nature
    against any of our students, please come forward. Our obligation to speak out should be one of a moral
    nature, compelling each and every one of us to do what is within our power to properly protect and raise
    this generation and generations of children to come.

    It is my hope that you and your families find yourselves well.

    Robert Feliciano Richard Loeschner


    BUFSD-BOE, Pres. Superintendent of Schools
