The DeSoto Schools family is saddened by the loss of one of our own, Mr. Kervin Campbell, a 5th-grade teacher at Mansfield Middle School. Mr. Campbell worked tirelessly for many years in service to the students and families of Mansfield . Our entire community is suffering the loss of our friend and colleague.
As adults, we are well aware of the substantial emotional impact that follows the death of a loved one or friend. We are working together with our Crisis Response Team to offer support to the students and staff at school. Please feel free to contact us if you need additional assistance. Counselors and other support staff will be available at the campus today (October 28) and will continue to be available to students, teachers, and families as needed.
