Dear South Glens Falls families,

I am writing to let you know about a situation that occurred on school grounds last week. On Thursday, a student reportedly struck another individual with a metal water bottle. The Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office was notified and they conducted an investigation, which resulted in the arrest of the individual.

The district takes any acts or threats of violence extremely seriously. The safety and security of our students and staff is always a top priority. The alleged incident was a serious violation of the District’s Code of Character, Conduct, and Support and is being addressed in accordance with our disciplinary policies. 

The South Glens Falls Central School District does not tolerate violent behavior or threats of violence. While we are unable to share specific details regarding school or law enforcement investigations due to student privacy, safety, and legal considerations, please know that school administrators work closely with local law enforcement and emergency services whenever situations warrant, such as in this case. 

Regards,

Dr. Michele Whitley

Superintendent of Schools
