The Monticello Central School District has received reports of a shooting in the village of Monticello. There have been no reports of any connection with, or any threats directed towards, our schools.
Out of an abundance of caution, and consistent with our safety protocols, all village schools — Monticello High School, Robert J. Kaiser Middle School, Kenneth L. Rutherford Elementary School, George L. Cooke Elementary School, the St. John Street UPK program, as well as the district’s transportation center — have been placed on a lockout.
Under a lockout, students and staff remain inside of the building, and no visitors are allowed entry. Operations continue as normal within the building.
The district remains in close contact with local law enforcement to monitor the situation.
