As you have heard, we have an employee who has been arrested. Last night, I was contacted by the Sheriffโs Office and informed that they will be releasing an official statement encouraging families to share any information they may have regarding Mr. Benjamin. We stand united with the Sheriffโs Office in urging our community members to come forward with any and all information related to this matter or to any allegation of child abuse.
As shared by the Sheriffโs Office-
Due to the circumstances in this case, the Cochise County Sheriffโs Office is asking anyone who may have come into contact with Mr. Benjamin and experienced any suspicious/criminal activity to contact the Sheriffโs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550.
Even with all of the safety protocols school districts like SVUSD must follow when hiring staff-like fingerprint clearance cards, reference checks, etcโฆ.It takes an entire community to keep our students safe. We know it may not be easy, but we encourage anyone within this community to come forward and contact law enforcement whenever you suspect a child is in danger.
Iโm a mom, this is my community, and Iโve dedicated my life to caring for children as an educator.
Once againโฆPlease contact the Sheriffโs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550 or our local police department with any information related to this or any allegations of misconduct with a child.
We must stand together to protect our children. Please join me in this fight.

Last month, 50 of our amazing teachers and leadership team members spent 2ยฝ days in Scottsdale at the Solution Tree Conference, diving into powerful sessions on educator wellness, school transformation, and creating cultures of belonging. ๐ก๐ฌ
Huge thanks to our incredible Curriculum Team for organizing this grant-funded opportunityโand to every staff member who gave up part of their summer break to grow, collaborate, and (letโs be honest) brave that Arizona heat! โ๏ธ๐ฅ
Your commitment to continuous improvement is what helps us #AchieveExcellenceTogether ๐๐
