Governor Kathy Hochul has responded to recent reports from the Salmon River Central School District, expressing concern about the safety of children at the school. In her statement, Hochul said, “The reporting coming out of the Salmon River Central School District is highly disturbing and raises serious questions regarding the safety of children at this school. As a mom, I know firsthand the trust parents place in our schools, and the teachers and administrators who work with our children. School should be a place where every child is safe, respected and supported. These allegations are alarming and entirely unacceptable and the State’s independent education department must take swift action to investigate and rectify this situation.”
