Dear Putnam Valley Community Members:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On January 11, our district learned that a bus monitor in the employ of Montauk Bus Company\u00a0was accused of threatening and striking one of our middle school students while he was on a Montauk bus. We immediately informed parents of the student and the bus company and referred the incident to our School Resource Officer, Deputy Ryan McMahon who thoroughly investigated the matter. The bus company immediately relieved the monitor of his duties and there was follow up by the County judicial system including an arrest. \u00a0We are fortunate to have a strong and effective partnership with our Sheriff\u2019s department. \u00a0Montauk Bus Company has also been cooperative throughout the investigation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Putnam Valley School District is committed to the safety of our students and staff.\u00a0 To that end\u00a0we have open communication with Putnam County and our contractors on behalf of our students.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
