The girl was not enrolled in the Shrewsbury Public School System but her brother, whom he did not identify, is at Shrewsbury High School, he said in the email.
A crisis team at the high school met on Saturday to plan support for the girl's brother and other students who may be affected. Another at Sherwood Middle School met to plan support for students who knew the girl, according to Sawyer.
More information on how students can get support will be sent to families later this weekend, Sawyer said.
