About 7:55 a.m., an “agitated” parent arrived at the elementary school building at 843 S. Hanover St. and asked to speak to a kindergarten teacher, supposedly about a student, according to Dr. James Smock, West-Mont administrator, who was interviewed after the incident.
The parent was escorted to the lobby by another teacher because the teachers were participating in devotions, according to a school news release issued Tuesday afternoon. Township Police Chief Robert Schurr said the visitor had told the other teacher that he had been sent to the elementary school by someone at the main office. The teacher advised the visitor to wait in the lobby, then the teacher’s attention was “drawn away by other students,” according to police.
“As later seen on our video surveillance cameras, instead of waiting, the parent went upstairs and viewed various art works on the walls, waiting for the teacher to arrive,” a news release issued by Smock read. “When the teacher came, there was a fruitful discussion, after which the parent left the building.”
