‘See Something, Say Something’

Keystone superintendent issues message to community

MILL HALL — KC substitute superintendent Dr. Alan Lonconus has sent a message to the community in the aftermath of the recent shooting at a Parkland, Fla. high school that killed 17 people, 15 of them students.

KCSD has implemented “See Something, Say Something.”

“All students, in all grades across our district are being encouraged to report any and all threatening actions, behaviors, and/or words in which students imply harm to themselves, our schools, or individuals. See Something, Say Something’ does not start and stop at school. This initiative includes bus rides, social media, or out in the community,” Dr. Lonconus said.

“Students are being asked to contact a trusted adult within the district and report any information they may have pertaining to any and all perceived threats of violence. All reports will be taken seriously and will be turned over to local law enforcement.

“KCSD faculty and staff will be reviewing this information with our students and we need your help. Please talk to your children about the seriousness of making such threats. Remind your children to use social media responsibly and that any suggestion of school violence will not be tolerated at Keystone Central School District.

“Our district is fully committed to the safety of our students and staff and your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated. By working together, we can give the best effort possible in protecting our schools,” he said.

Dr. Lonconus said, “faculty and staff have kept Parkland, Florida students, parents, staff, and community in our thoughts. In the wake of such senseless violence, it is a clear reminder that we and schools across our nation need to evaluate our safety procedures and be continually prepared to protect our students.”
