An email sent to central office staff at City Schools of Decatur on Oct. 26 regarding Israel and Gaza has been disavowed by school district leaders.

The email included an attachment titled, “Resources for Learning & Actions to Support Gaza” and says it was, “Compiled by a queer collective of Jews, Palestinians, and allies in Atlanta.”

The email was sent by a staffer to other staff members but was not an official communication from City Schools of Decatur, a spokesperson for the district said.
