The Tuxedo Union Free School District Board is aware of allegations that an inappropriate post was made on one of the district's social media accounts. The Superintendent of Schools forcefully denies making this inappropriate post.
We are taking the incident very seriously. This evening the Board voted to direct the district's attorney and Human Resources consultant to work with an independent IT firm to fully investigate the matter. This investigation is expected to take at least several days.
Out of respect for this investigation, we will refrain from commenting further at this time.
However, we have been preliminarily advised by our IT firm that visiting this website/viewing the content of the post may present internet security issues for those who accessed it. Consideration should be given by those who accessed the post to take appropriate internet security precautions including changing passwords and usernames and utilizing internet security software programs.
The Board of Education Special Meeting will reconvene tomorrow morning at 9:30AM. Info: https://www.tuxedoufsd.org/events
