Scam Alert

From Schodack eNews - Maple Hill High School
Warning to Community About Scam

The Schodack CSD would like to let our community know about a scam we learned about today. A resident let us know that they received a phone call asking the individual to take an ad out on posters that will be put all over the area for Maple Hill High School. The district does not support any such effort and residents are warned not to provide any information to anyone calling for such a reason. 

Thank you to the community member who let us know about this so we could share it with our community.
