Dear Editor,
I wish to categorically state that the information published in your September 6th Kiskadee Watch article concerning an alleged physical confrontation at New Amsterdam Secondary School is inaccurate.
There has never been an incident of the nature described in your publication at New Amsterdam Secondary School. The article therefore creates a misleading and damaging impression of the school, its students, staff and administration.
We respectfully request that you immediately verify the information, retract the inaccurate report and publish a clear correction to prevent further circulation of misinformation.
As a media organisation, accuracy and responsible reporting are essential, particularly when reporting on matters involving a school and minors.
We look forward to your prompt response and corrective action.
Yours sincerely,
Wahid Omar
Principal
New Amsterdam Secondary School
