The blast of automated phone calls was accidentally sent at about 11 a.m. to parents of students of all ages. The system, which the school district has used for two years, alerts parents of their children's attendance, emergencies, and other situations. "It's an excellent system, this was just a sequencing error," said Roy Belson, the superintendent of schools. "We're working on correcting any possibilities of that happening again."
