Noose found outside classroom at UV
NEW BERLIN – In an area where civil and social injustices as well as hate crimes are not often seen nor heard of, faculty, staff and students got an eye-opening experience last week as a noose was found hanging outside the only African American teacher’s classroom at Unadilla Valley High School.
According to school administrators, a hand-made noose created from clothesline was found hanging on the door knob of a classroom.
Mark Montgomery, an instructor with the Liberty Partnership program at Unadilla Valley, was said to have been shown the noose during the day on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
A press release issued today by the district states that Montgomery, “is widely respected for his work with all students in the district by staff, students, administration, parents and the school board.” Montgomery was unavailable for comment on the incident.
The incident, which the administration says is not being taken lightly, is being fully investigated. Superintendent Robert Mackey said, “This is an incident we find very offensive and want to resolve it quickly.”
In conjunction with the district’s School Resource Officer Jill Mattice, administrators are in the process of investigating where the noose originated. Mackey said, “Due to the ongoing investigation into this matter, we are not able to comment on the specifics at this time.”
Anyone with any information regarding the incident is urged to contact the school at 847-7500 or the New York State Police at 561-7400.
