A Level 2 sex
offender has moved into the 12302 zip code. Please see the
letter below from Superintendent Kevin Baughman, which is in the
process of being mailed to parents.
Dear Parents/Guardians:
New York State Law permits law enforcement authorities to share
certain information with school districts relating to paroled sex
offenders who take up residence in the school district. We have
received information that a paroled sex offender is now residing in
the 12302 zip code. The parolee is tracked through the Sex Offender
Registry and regularly monitored by the Schenectady County Probation
Department. The parolee is classified as a risk level two offender
indicating the parolee represents a moderate risk to the community.
The school district was provided an information sheet on the
parolee. The information includes the name, a description of the
individual, the crime committed, and a photo. [View
the information sheet] Due to the moderate risk level, the
actual address of the parolee was not provided to the school
district per guidelines of the New York State Department of Criminal
Justice Services. The information sheet is provided for parent
information. Please be assured that applicable district employees
have been alerted to this situation.
You may obtain more information on the Sex Offender Registration
Act as well as access the New York State database of sex offenders
on the Internet at

may also call the Sex Offender Registry at 1-800-262-3257 or the
Glenville Police at 384-3444.
Be assured that the protection and safety of all children is our
most important priority. We encourage you to review with your
children appropriate safe practices including:
* Be very cautious of strangers.
* Do not get close to a car when a stranger is asking for
information.
* Do not walk alone.
* Report to an adult any unusual events.
By joining together with law enforcement, we can create a safe
environment for our children.
