Members of the Rensselaer City School District Community:
We have plenty of holiday spirit around the building at this time of year. Be sure to check out the website and our Facebook page to see some of the exciting activities!
While it is always fun to celebrate, I need to share some serious safety concerns from this afternoon. It seems that one of our buses was shot at by a BB gun. A CDTA bus and two private vehicles were also hit in the same vicinity of 3rd Ave. & Adams St. around 3:40pm. Fortunately, no students were injured from this action, but understandably everyone involved was upset.
We would like to thank our #PartnersInSafety, Rensselaer Police Department, for responding quickly and keeping an open line of communication through their investigation and any ongoing follow-up.
As a community, we need your help. If you have any information about this incident, we would like to know. Please contact the Rensselaer Police at 518-462-7451. We are always safer when the entire community of #PartnersInSafety works together. Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter. Let’s keep our eyes out together.
