Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES

NFEC Water Main Break Update: I would like the thank the engineers from 1949 who installed a water main that is considered to be a very odd, uncommon size in 2024. They can also be thanked for the closure on Tuesday. Every effort was made to get the correct parts Monday, but we were unable to track down the oddly sized parts in time to open on Tuesday. I would like to thank Dave Radcliff and Lorenzo Heredia for coming in on a holiday to make the repairs. Their help was essential to the project. Also, thank you to the Village of Malone for all of their assistance. Thank you to Shawn McMahon for your assistance notifying the village when the break was discovered. Thank you to all of the faculty and staff, who were inconvenienced by the water main break, for your patience and understanding.

Good morning. Adirondack Educational Center in Saranac Lake will be closed today, Dec. 11, 2023, for a snow day. Please be safe and enjoy the day!

Good morning, NFEC families. We were in lockout mode for a short time this morning but all activity has returned to normal. We were made aware that there was a safety incident in the Malone Central School District this morning. Due to our building's location on the Franklin Academy campus, we went into lockout, a mode in which no one is allowed to enter the building and all students are kept inside. We have been notified that law enforcement has the individual in custody. NFEC is back to operating normally, and we will run on our regular schedule for the rest of the day.

A microwave malfunctioned at Adirondack Educational Center. We evacuated staff and students while the smoke from the malfunction was investigated. The Saranac Lake Fire Department cleared the smoke and secured the microwave, and we are currently bringing staff and students back to class. Thanks to the SLFD for their help with this issue!

Adirondack Educational Center in Saranac Lake is currently sheltering in place due to an incident in the community. That means we're keeping all staff and students inside the building, and we're making sure all entrances and the permitter of the building are fully secure and monitored. We have been told not to expect any immediate threat. We will continue to follow the recommendations of local law enforcement, and we will notify families of any changes.

Several school districts around the state have received threatening calls today that have turned out to be hoaxes. There is no immediate threat to any of our schools, but we wanted to make sure that all families were aware of the situation. Our two campuses, AEC in Saranac Lake and NFEC in Malone, have NOT received any threats. As far as we're aware, none of our BOCES component districts have received any threats. Again, there is no immediate threat to any FEH BOCES students or staff. We will continue to monitor the situation closely. Our students' safety is of utmost importance to us, and we will respond immediately and notify staff and families if we do receive any threats.

AEC will be closed today, Thursday, 2/23/23, for a snow day. There's a lot of snow out there! Have a safe, fun snow day.❄️
