⚠️ Police have asked us to delay dismissal for Keane Elementary students until 2:40 p.m. today as they continue to work on Odell Street.
This shift in dismissal will effect some students who attend our middle schools and Schenectady High School, as their buses may be arriving to the buildings late. Traffic delays are expected on State Street and Albany Street in the area of Keane Elementary due to the police presence on Odell Street.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to receive information from our Community Engagement Officers.
⚠️Due to police activity on Odell Street, students and staff of Keane Elementary are asked to use alternate routes on the way to school this morning.
