MHHS Calls Shelter-in-Place; No Safety Risk to
Students
The district would like to inform parents that Maple Hill
High School called a shelter-in-place this afternoon after a potentially
threatening message was found on a bathroom wall. As part of standard
precautions, students and district employees locked themselves in their rooms as
a search of the building was conducted. The message was found not to be
credible and there was no risk to students. Students were dismissed at their
regular time. The district would like to thank the Schodack Police Department
for their assistance.
Superintendent Robert Horan asks parents to please consider
talking with their students about the seriousness of writing such messages as
school districts often see an increase in them towards the end of the school
year. Because the safety of our students is the district’s foremost priority,
the district takes any such incidents seriously and will pursue criminal charges
against any individual found to make false threatening statements.
Long-time Red Mill teacher Daniel Garab was appointed assistant principal for Goff Middle School at the May 23rd Board of Education meeting after an exhaustive search through an exceptional field of candidates. Garab, a life-long resident of the East Greenbush Central
School District, looks forward to contributing to the ongoing success of
the district.
