Dear Randolph School community,

We are writing today to share troubling information about our school’s past that has come
to our attention. We have become aware of allegations by several former Randolph
students that they were sexually abused during their time here by a former faculty member
whose term of employment ended in the early 1990s.

In response to these allegations, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and
the leaders of the school administration have committed to conducting a comprehensive
investigation. We have engaged Fisher Phillips, nationally recognized experts in these
types of investigations, to work with us in this matter. We invite anyone who may have
been sexually abused by an employee of Randolph, as well as anyone who has
information regarding such abuse, to come forward. The investigation is being led by
Suzanne Bogdan, who can be reached directly at (954) 847-4711 or
at suzanneb@fisherphillips.com. Individuals are also welcome to contact Jay Rainey,
Head of School, at (256) 799-6102 or at jrainey@randolphschool.net. Anyone who
responds to this request for information can expect to be treated with the utmost respect
and care.

At Randolph, the physical and emotional safety of our students is our highest priority, and
there is no behavior more opposed to our values than the sexual predation of children.
While we believe that our policies and practices relating to child protection are strong, our
school administration will nevertheless conduct a thorough review of those policies and
practices, including our professional training of faculty and staff, our requirement of
appropriate boundaries between employees and students, our emphasis on the duty to
report suspected abuse, and our efforts to educate students about how to protect and
advocate for themselves and their peers. This review will run concurrently with the Fisher
Phillips investigation.

In keeping with Randolph’s mission, we are dedicated to seeking the truth about our past
and caring for every member of our school community as we do so. Although the weeks
ahead may be challenging, we are committed to undertaking this investigative process for
the benefit of past, present, and future generations of Randolph students. We are grateful
for your support and trust as we move forward together.

Yours,

Brian Pollock
Chair, Board of Trustees

Jay Rainey
Head of School
