Good Morning.  We know that some of you are wondering why there has been a police presence at the school lately.   Madison is working with the New York State Troopers in an effort to enhance security and response in cases of emergency.  For that reason, troopers have been visiting the school to familiarize themselves with our blue print or floor plan so in the event of an emergency the responders have an idea of the building layout.  We expect walk throughs from law enforcement on any given day in our continued effort to be vigiliant in providing a safe and educational environment for our students.  In the event of a true emergency, the district wide communication system will be used to keep everyone informed if necessary.
