(3/15/23) Q: Why was no announcement made to parents and guardians of a student being arrested and sent to juvenile detention after fighting with brass knuckles? (parent)
A: No student was sent to juvenile hall– this information is inaccurate. Additionally, we will never announce specific information about a students’ disciplinary circumstances. If there are reasons for the school or the district to be concerned about a particular situation that potentially places students in general in harm, information is provided accordingly.
(3/10/23) Q: Does the BOE have a policy regarding teachers creating social media posts (TicToks) during classroom instruction time, even if students are not visible? (Parent)

(3/8/23) Why is traffic an unexcused absence? On March 2nd the light on Moe road was green long enough to allow 2 cars through, Students like myself shouldn’t have to pay the price for something we have 0 control over. I left my house at 7:50 and didn’t get to school until 8:10 which was not my fault at all.
A: Traffic varies from day to day, and there are many factors. Traffic alone is not a reason to excuse an absence or tardiness. If there are impassable roads or roads closed that are unforeseeable, the tardy would be excused. BOE policy 7110 and 7110R discuss student attendance.

(3/20/23) Q: It is my understanding that Shenendehowa hired an additional SRO this year. In years prior, we have always had an almost daily presence from our SRO. This year, weeks go by with out seeing one. What are the expectations and requirements? Should we only be seeing them once every few weeks at the elementary level? What benefit is the extra SRO providing if their presence is significantly less? (employee)
A: They are in every building everyday unless there is an immediate urgency that requires them to be somewhere else. If you are not specifically seeing your SRO contact the building principal or Becky Carman.
