Chesamisi Boys High School has issued a public notice distancing itself from a newsletter currently circulating on social media platforms and various WhatsApp groups, describing the document as fake and misleading.
In a statement released by the school administration, the institution clarified that the publication being shared online is not an official communication from the school and did not originate from any authorized school channel.
According to the administration, the newsletter appears to have been deliberately crafted to spread false information and damage the school’s reputation among parents, students, alumni, and members of the public.
“The document is not authentic and did not originate from the school administration or any approved communication channels. Its apparent intention is to mislead the public and tarnish the good name of the school by spreading false information,” the statement read in part.
The school has urged parents, students, stakeholders, and the general public to disregard the document entirely and refrain from sharing unverified information that could fuel misinformation.

Chesamisi Boys High School emphasized that all official announcements and communications are disseminated exclusively through its recognized and approved communication channels.
The administration further revealed that efforts are underway to establish the source of the false publication and address the matter through the appropriate channels.
The institution reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accurate communication, urging stakeholders to verify any information purportedly issued by the school before acting on or sharing it.
The development comes amid growing concerns over the spread of misinformation through social media platforms, with schools and other institutions increasingly finding themselves compelled to issue clarifications to protect their reputations and maintain public trust.
