Important update from the Board of Education

Statement from the Baldwinsville Board of Education:

The Board would like to address the events of this weekend and the numerous inquiries we have received from the community. We share with the community’s concern over the decisions made by Superintendent of Schools Jason Thomson on Friday evening. His actions placed the student body and community at risk.

The District continues to work with the Baldwinsville Police Department and is also investigating the events of the evening. While the investigations are ongoing, no further comments by the school district will be made.

Mr. Thomson will be placed on administrative leave. Mr. Joseph DeBarbieri will immediately serve as Acting Superintendent of Schools. The Board supports Mr. DeBarbieri as he works with students, staff and the community through this challenging time.
