Dear Liberty Perry Families,
I want to take a moment to address a situation that has come to our attention involving rumors circulating on social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Snapchat, about potential violence in schools across the country over the past couple of days and weeks. Please rest assured that, at this time, no specific threats have been made against any of our schools. However, we are diligently monitoring the situation to ensure the continued safety of our students and staff.
This is a good opportunity to remind our community about the importance of having conversations with your children regarding the dangers and serious consequences of sharing inappropriate or threatening content online. The spread of false information can cause unnecessary fear, disrupt our school environment, and potentially lead to legal and disciplinary actions.
Our students' safety is, and will always be, our top priority. We strongly believe in the power of our community to recognize potential harm and act swiftly to prevent it. If you or your child sees or hears anything concerning, we urge you to speak up and make your school's leaders aware. By working together, we can ensure that Liberty Perry remains a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for all students.
Thank you for your ongoing support and trust in us.
Sincerely,
Aaron Black
Superintendent, Liberty Perry School Corporation
Good Afternoon,
I want to make you aware that the administration was made aware of a threatening message this afternoon that listed a number of Delaware County Schools. Local law enforcement have been investigating this threat and at this time it is being considered very vague and unsubstantiated. At this time Liberty Perry will conduct school business as usual and remain vigilant to any potential threats. The safety of our students remains our number 1 priority and we will continue to make decisions based on credible information and the direction of our local law enforcement officials.
Aaron Black
Superintendent
Liberty Perry School Corporation.

The Liberty-Perry Community School Board is excited to announce our selection for superintendent, Mr. Aaron Black. Mr. Black comes to us with 5 years of superintendent experience with the Randolph Eastern School Corporation and we believe that he possesses the qualities that are needed to continue the success that we have had under Mr. Rausch's leadership. Mr. Black understands how to work with a small community and lead a school of our size. We believe that the values and views that Mr. Black possesses fit very well with our community and schools.
Mr. Black comes to us with expertise in STEM and technology. He has also involved the community in projects that provide students with additional opportunities. Mr. Black was awarded Superintendent of the Year for district #6 last year.
We are excited to welcome Mr. Black to the LPS family and look forward to seeing where his leadership takes us. Along with Mr. Black, we are thrilled to welcome his wife, Sarah, and their three children, Audrey, Braylon, and Tynlee, to our community. As Mr. Black embarks on this new journey with us, we hope you will join us in congratulating him and extending a warm welcome to his entire family as they become an integral part of Liberty-Perry Schools. We eagerly anticipate the new era of growth and success that lies ahead under his leadership.
