The District is aware of a lawsuit that has been filed against the Pine Valley Central School District by a current parent.
It is important to note that the claims set forth in the complaint represent the allegations of one party and have not been established as fact. The District disputes allegations and characterizations that are inconsistent with its policies, practices, and longstanding commitment to serving students and families.
Because this matter is the subject of pending litigation, the District is limited in its ability to comment and will not address specific allegations through the media. The District will respond through the judicial process, where the facts and legal issues can be fully and appropriately examined.
The District remains steadfast in its commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive educational environment for all students. Reports of bullying, harassment, discrimination, or misconduct are taken seriously and are addressed in accordance with District policies, established procedures, and applicable law.
Our focus remains on the educational mission of the District and the well-being and success of our students. We are proud of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated daily by our students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The District will continue to support its school community while vigorously defending itself against allegations it believes are without merit.
At this time, the District will have no additional comment on this litigation.
