Mount Pleasant Schools Chief Praises Westlake Students For Vigilance

Mount Pleasant school officials - reacting to a recent incident where a ninth-grader was accused of making a "disturbing" comment -- are praising students for their vigilance and asking that they, parents and staff all continue to be "kind and caring to one another." Superintendent Susan Guiney issued the statement on the district's website last week after some students at Westlake High School in Thornwood told school officials that a classmate had said something cryptic about not going to school on Friday.
