Statement from Stan Rheingans, Superintendent of the Dubuque Community School District

The thoughts and prayers of the Dubuque Community School District are with those in Newtown, Connecticut impacted by today’s tragic school shooting.

We know that there are no words to provide comfort in the wake of today’s events, yet we also know the power of school communities to unite in overcoming adversity.

Today, we lend our support to those in Connecticut from afar and we join with schools across the country in striving to always provide the safest environment possible for our students.
