Dear BOCES Community:
During dismissal today at the BOCES Verona campus, a student became physically aggressive towards a staff member. In accordance with our procedures, BOCES staff, including BOCES School Resource Officers, immediately de-escalated the situation. Due to the nature of the incident, the student was taken into police custody and the matter has been referred to the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department for investigation.
The health, safety and security of our students, staff and visitors remains our top priority. We are deeply appreciative of our BOCES staff and the continued assistance of our law enforcement partners in support of our students.
