It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the tragic passing of Lindsay Velasquez, a valued member of the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) family, who lost her life last weekend.
Lindsay’s passing is a profound loss to her family, friends, colleagues, and the wider school community. At this time, our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with her loved ones as they face this incredibly difficult and painful moment. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family and to all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her.
Lindsay was a part of a community dedicated to supporting students and fostering learning, and her presence made a meaningful impact on those around her. She will be remembered for her connection to the FWISD family and for the role she played within the school environment. Her loss is felt deeply by those who worked with her and by the students and staff whose lives she touched.
In times such as this, we are reminded of the importance of coming together in support of one another. We ask the community to join in keeping Lindsay’s family, friends, and school colleagues in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this time of grief and adjustment.
Support services are being made available within the district to assist those affected by this loss. The well-being of students and staff remains a priority as we work through this difficult period together.
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has offered condolences, support, and kindness in response to this tragedy. The compassion shown reflects the strength and unity of the FWISD community.
