Good morning WCS Families,
I wanted to share some recent information happening around the state and in our area. Yesterday BOCES made us aware of threats that had been posted on social media. The administrators at BOCES worked with law enforcement who confirmed these vague threats were being widely shared across the state. BOCES has contacted parents of the students who attend BOCES programs to inform them that these threats were unfounded and that additional police officers would be present on their campuses.
Last night we learned of another non-specific threat to schools. The NY State Police has confirmed that these threats have been circulating for several days, at over 100 schools. We have been assured by law enforcement there is no immediate threat to schools. Please know these social media posts do not name a specific school and have never named Worcester Central School.
Although these threats are general in nature and do not name our school, we take these situations very seriously. We maintain a district and school wide safety plan that is consistently implemented and practiced. We thank you for your continued support and ask that if you ever have any concerns for student or campus safety, please alert any member of our school staff.
Respectfully,
Tim Gonzales
Superintendent
