Got Plans?

Plenty To Do in and Around Schodack!
 

    District to Hold Bus Rollover Drill on Saturday, October 1

    Schodack CSD and local fire, police and emergency services will hold a bus rollover drill on Saturday, October 1 at the bus garage. We want to let our community know about this drill in advance so they are not concerned if they see emergency vehicles respond to the scene. The drill will involve an old school bus (that no longer runs and is used solely for parts) put on its side beforehand and school staff and students pretending like they were in a rollover accident. Local fire, police, emergency services and school officials will respond as if it was a real accident. Other school districts and emergency responders in the region have also been invited to attend the drill. "We want to be proactive," said Superintendent Robert Horan. "Hopefully something like this will never happen. But by simulating this, we'll all be better prepared to respond in case it ever did." Posted 9/28/11.

    The stunt of bringing the village for a taping grew out of a "Late Show" segment on "Biff Henderson's America" that chose Schoharie at random as a typical rural upstate village.
