In a statement provided to Paragon Communications, Superintendent Mike Sparks said:
“We were shocked to learn of the arrest of Jess Moore, an employee of Elk City Public Schools. We can assure you the allegations against Mr. Moore have nothing to do with his employment at ECPS or with any student at ECPS. The allegations do not involve Mr. Moore’s use of any school equipment or technology. We have technology and systems in place to protect against the use of school technology in a manner which could be illegal or harmful to students. The safety of our students is our number one priority.”
