Authorities Have Now Identified the Staff Member Killed at Roosevelt Middle School on Wednesday(UPDATE)
The name of the staff member involved in Wednesday's accident at Roosevelt Middle School has now been released. Craig Jackson, a member of the district staff for 23 years, was killed around 1pm on Wednesday.
Craig served the district as a mechanic in the transportation office from 1999-2017 and became a groundskeeper in the buildings and grounds office in 2017, serving schools across the district. He was operating a roller compactor on the school’s football field. While attempting to maneuver under the field’s goal post, the compactor’s safety roll-bar struck the bottom of the goal post causing it to fall forward on him. The Dubuque Police Department investigated and determined the incident to be accidental.
No other information about the incident will be released at this time
