Late last night, Wednesday, November 1st, the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District received notification of a threat made on social media. The district began working with the local law enforcement to investigate the threat. At this time the district and law enforcement have not been able to resolve the situation. Therefore, we are canceling all classes today on both campuses. This includes students who attend programs at other locations, including BOCES programs. The district and law enforcement will continue the investigation throughout the day, today, Thursday, November 2nd, 2023. We will update families with any new information.
Wayland-Cohocton School District is aware of the threat that has been made to the district and is working with local law enforcement regarding the situation. We will continue to update you as we have more information available. Thank you. (Wednesday, November 1, 2023 11:42 p.m.)
