Law Enforcement Notification 5 7 26
Good evening, this is Joe Carrico superintendent of the Clarion Area School District. Earlier this evening, we were contacted by the local law enforcement to inform us of some unfounded allegations and rumors circulating about criminal activity in the area. The police informed us that, in an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence in and around the Clarion community tomorrow. They do not recommend closing of the schools. We will operate on a normal schedule for Friday, May 8th. We are confident that the law enforcement leadership will release a statement in the near future.
