The Sullivan County School District would like to provide clarification regarding an incident involving one of our school buses yesterday evening.
The District received a phone call from Pennsylvania State Police advising that a particular Sullivan County School Bus should not travel on a specific roadway. In response, the District ensured the bus did not travel on that road and worked with local officials regarding the road closure. All students remained safe throughout the entirety of the trip. The individual referenced in the publicly released police report was never near or in contact with the Sullivan County School District bus, its driver, or any of the students on board. Individual contact was made with families of students who's drop off times were impacted by the rerouting of the bus.
We understand that additional information surrounding this incident is now being reported through various news outlets following the release and public availability of the Pennsylvania State Police report. We want to clarify that the District was not made aware of a threat to shoot students on the bus during the communications we received. The information communicated to the District was specific to avoiding the identified roadway to ensure students did not go near the residence. The District followed the guidance and direction provided by the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and responded accordingly based on the information available at that time.
The District takes all safety concerns seriously and acted upon the information as it was received. Had additional information regarding a direct threat to students been communicated to the District, we would have responded accordingly.
We recognize the concern this situation may have caused for our families and community. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority, and we will continue to work collaboratively with local law enforcement and emergency personnel to support the safety of our school community.

SCSD is taking a stand against bullying.
Today, our staff participated in bullying prevention training led by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office. The training focused on recognizing, preventing, and responding to bullying, and most importantly, creating a school culture where every student feels safe, respected, and supported.
At SCSD, we believe every student deserves to learn without fear of being bullied or targeted. We are committed to continuing this work, strengthening our practices, and empowering our staff and students to speak up and make a difference.

Due to scheduled work on the district's sewer treatment plant, the campus will be closed during the project period. This temporary closure is necessary to ensure the safety of our school community and to allow essential infrastructure improvements to be completed efficiently.
While campus facilities will be inaccessible, administrators and summer staff will remain available and continue to provide support remotely. Students, families, and community members are encouraged to contact offices by phone or email for assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these important upgrades and look forward to welcoming everyone back to campus once the work is finished.
