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.

Kinder parking lot at Don Roberts Elementary School


After parking in the lot, Goens called his daughter, Paula Caruthers, and had a brief conversation. He had been to a doctor's appointment earlier, in the day and must have received some bad news. By the time his daughter and her husband, Scott,  arrived at the school at 12:56 p.m., Goens had already gotten out of his vehicle and shot himself in the head. 

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.


After parents complained to the school and the school district when the discovered what actually happened, the school sent out another text message, almost four hours after the first message about an incident "in the neighborhood". They couldn't even tell the truth in the message, admitting that the police presence was at the school, and not "near the school".


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.

Enrollment is declining at an alarming rate and they are closing down schools faster than Trump can sign a new executive order.

Taxpayers deserve better.

  On August 7, 2024, during a nude modeling photo session at the House of Art in North Little Rock a female model claims she was sexually assaulted by Leron McAdoo. 108 E 4th St, North Little Rock, AR McAdoo is a teacher at the Little Rock School District Dr. Marian G. Lacey K-8 Academy.  This is his self-published biography.  We were made aware of the incident after seeing her post on social media.   After the incident the victim made a police report with the North Little Rock Police Department that provided the same information. We sent a request to LRSD for comments but at the time of publication they had not responded. In 2018 McAdoo was accused of striking a student.
