LRSD Don Roberts Elementary School deliberately lied to parents about an incident (suicide) that occured on campus.
A little before 1:00 p.m. on Monday March 31st, 87 year old Donald Goens pulled into the Kinder parking lot on the western side of Don Roberts Elementary School at 16601 Lamarche Drive.

Goens lived a short distance from the school.
The police report indicates that Scott Caruthers called LRPD to report the suicide in the school parking lot at 1:05 p.m. The report states that it was a "horrific scene".
At 1:59 p.m., almost an hour after Goens shot and killed himself in a parking lot at the school, the school sent out a text message to parents. They stated that an incident had happened in the neighborhood and the school had been placed on lockdown for a short time. They followed that one up with another message that advised parents that the Kinder parking lot was "blocked off".
That parking lot was block off because a bloody dead body was lying in it.
One of the parents that had received the text messages sent us a message and a phot of a LRPD police vehicle blocked that parking lot off.
And to compound their dishonesty, they had the audacity to say that they are committed to keeping parents and the public informed with accurate and timely information.The Little Rock School District has a terrible superintendent and a corrupt school board.
Taxpayers deserve better.
