Notice Regarding Bus #95 - delayed afternoon run 10/2/2025

This afternoon during the elementary run, Bus #95 pulled to the side of the road during its route home due to a student-related issue.

Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all students, the bus remained stopped while the Superintendent and our School Resource Officer responded to assist.

After the circumstances were resolved all students were safely dropped off at their regular stops, though with a slight delay.

We want to reassure our families that student safety is always our top priority, and we are grateful for the calm cooperation of the students and the quick response of our team.

More information will be shared shortly with the families of the students who were on the bus. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Thank You to Our Local Canine Units! We’d like to extend a big thank you to the dedicated canine units from Chemung and surrounding sheriff departments for participating in a training exercise today at Thomas A. Edison High School and Cohen Middle School. This collaborative effort supports both the ongoing training of these incredible teams and reinforces key elements of our school district safety plans. Today’s visit was focused solely on training—not a social event—and no students were present in the areas where the dogs and handlers were working. We are incredibly grateful for the work these professionals do every day to help keep our schools and communities safe. Thank you—and stay safe out there! #SchoolSafety #CommunitySupport #ThankYouK9s
