BOCES Families, The administration at St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES was notified last evening about a social media post threatening violence against BOCES. The New York State Police were immediately notified and began the process of investigating the reports. We received notification from the State Police that it is believed to be a hoax threat as it is the same message that was circulated earlier today in western New York. The State Police also indicated that it has been dealt with by law enforcement. We are thankful the matter was reported immediately and that our law enforcement partners are able to investigate. I know this information can be unsettling but it is our top priority to keep our students and staff members safe. As a community, I encourage you to remain aware of postings such as these and to report circumstances you think may be unsafe to authorities. We have a strong partnership with the New York State Police Department, who are always supportive and quick to respond to any of our requests. You may notice an increased police presence to ensure safety tomorrow. As always, thank you for your support. Sincerely, St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES Administration

Mrs. McKinley Principal *We are sending this duplicate email as some parents did not the first message.

Please ignore the automated notice about absences that just went out. There was a glitch that went out to ALL families! Sorry for inconvenience!

Dear Colton-Pierrepont Families, I am reaching out to inform you of an incident that took place at our bus garage earlier today. During the school day, one of our buses experienced a mechanical issue while on the lift, which resulted in the bus coming off the lift. Thankfully, no injuries were sustained. At the time of the incident, no students were near the bus or bus garage, and all staff members were unharmed. Our insurance company is collaborating with us to investigate the cause of this issue. We are dedicated to ensuring the safety and reliability of our transportation facility. Once the investigation is concluded, we will implement any necessary safety measures and structural improvements to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Sincerely, Jim Nee
