Message from the superintendent about social media posts

December 16, 2021

Dear Fort Plain Central School Community,

On Thursday, December 16, school superintendents in the Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery BOCES region met with local law enforcement agencies to discuss reports from around the nation of non-specific threats of school violence circulating on social media.

We have been informed that these posts have circulated in the past around this time of year and that these posts do not pose a credible threat. Regardless, we take this matter very seriously, and our local law enforcement and state agencies will continue to closely monitor social media.

Additionally, the district will have an increased presence of law enforcement at our schools.

We also ask our families and staff to be vigilant. If you receive any information about these posts or any threat of violence, please report it immediately to school officials. If you receive information that you believe requires immediate action, please call 911.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep our schools safe. We will keep you updated with any information that we receive.

Sincerely,
Jeffery Ziegler
Interim Superintendent
