MANCHESTER – Members of the Township School District are mourning the loss of another beloved staff member who passed away recently.
“It is with great sadness that the Manchester Township School District comes together to mourn the loss of staff member Pat Ford. Ms. Ford was new to Whiting School but not to the Whiting community or the Manchester Township School District family,” the district said in a statement.
“She was a long-time resident of Whiting with deep roots in this area through her residency and years of work with local preschool children. She was proud of the work she did with Manchester’s youngest learners and the ability to have been finishing out her career at Whiting School,” they said.
The statement also asked community members to, “keep her family, friends, students, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate through this difficult time.”
“School Districts are prepared with protocols for handling the unfortunate loss of staff and students when they occur. Our administrative team has organized a support team that is readily available to assist those who are impacted in coping with this loss. Thank you for your support and assistance during this difficult time,” the School District added.
