GENESEE COUNTY/Elba Elba Central Schools respond to Elementary School incident Press Release It has been widely reported that certain fourth grade students had been discussing a way to harm a teacher in the Elba Central School District. This event has been a shock to our community and school. The District cannot comment on the specifics of this event, including discipline, as the information is protected from disclosure under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The reports in the media and on social media do not accurately reflect the entire event. As soon as the District was made aware of the students discussion it called in students that were thought to have knowledge of the discussions. After the students were interviewed, the District contacted the Sheriffs Department and cooperated with the Sheriffs Deputies in their investigation of the matter. The Sheriffs Department concluded that no crime had been committed and the matter was turned back over to the District. The District in turn has worked with the parents and students involved to address this issue. It is important to note that no one was injured or actually placed in harms way. The District does not condone any of the behaviors that have been reported and is in the process of working alongside the Sheriffs Department to use this incident as a vehicle for educating the Districts students regarding appropriate behaviors.
