BARNSTABLE, MA — An employee at Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School was found unconscious, and according to Principal Elizabeth Forbes, police are investigating after drugs were found at the scene. Forbes found the staff member Friday afternoon unresponsive on a loading dock outside the school, she said in an email she sent to parents Sunday.
The staff member was rushed to the hospital and remains there as of Sunday afternoon.
Patch has reached out to Barnstable police and will update when we know more.
After the drugs were found, school officials closed the building for the weekend until Barnstable police could confirm the school was safe for students and faculty.
"Chief Sonnabend sent Barnstable police officers with a K-9 drug dog to inspect the school," Forbes wrote in an email to parents. "As a parent myself, I know that the well being of our children is our greatest concern. I have been assured by Barnstable police that the building is safe to open tomorrow (Monday)."
Subscribe Forbes asked that residents keep the employee's family in their thoughts during a difficult time.
"I know that an event like this elicits varied feelings from our community and I ask that we offer support to one another at this difficult time," Forbes said.
Forbes said school faculty will not be discussing the incident with students, but counseling teams will be available to handle any questions that arise.
what state?
Probably a guidance counselor
Unconscious..................
We’ve come a long way from the janitor who had a pint of Four Roses in his toolbox.
Are you asking because you misplaced some drugs?
The school was closed for the safety of the kids and faculty - on the weekend.
Very possible one or more students and faculty are dealers.
Police raided a teacher’s home here and found the stash. Nothing was ever done to the teacher.
What kind of drugs?
Good ones, obviously...................
I thought schools were drug free zones.
I know we at FR are loathe to read articles, but we should at least read the titles...................
“janitor who had a pint of Four Roses in his toolbox”
You must have known my grandad, haha.
Honestly, I thought it was sarcasm...I never want to jump to the other conclusion too quickly...lol
.........or the high school principal who kept a pint of Old Grand-Dad in the bottom drawer of his desk. (Well, I did drive him to it.)
Geez this just happened in Rochester New York last week too
