It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our colleague and friend, John Glasgow, passed away yesterday, Wednesday 10/07/26 as the result of a tragic accident.
This is a devastating loss for our AIRSS, ROE26 and NREA family. John was a valued member of our team, and we know this news will be difficult for all of us to process. As shared in this joint message John’s impact on the rural school community extended beyond a single entity, and his commitment, care and support of rural and small schools were felt globally.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with John’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
We recognize that each of us processes grief differently, and encourage you to reach out to your own circle of family friends and faith for the support you might need. As we learn more about arrangements and the family’s wishes, we will share that information when appropriate.
Please keep John’s family and loved ones in your thoughts.
David Ardrey – AIRSS
