Vampire rumors prompt Boston Latin alert - about bullying - The Boston Globe

Boston Latin School headmaster Lynne Mooney Teta issued a notice to parents and students yesterday quashing rumors of vampires at the school. An odd move for the head of a historic elite preparatory school, but Teta and Boston public school officials declined to elaborate on what triggered the unusual message.

If my kid's school issued a statement like this, I think I would be shopping for another elite prep school. I'm aware they were mostly responding to the bullying aspect of the situation, but the fact that they felt the need to quash rumors of vampires on campus kind of blows my mind.
