Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Con Edison Gives Green Light To Return To Elementary School Campus After Gas Leak (patch.com) — Students and staff from Mount Kisco Elementary, part of the Bedford Central School District, were safely evacuated and later cleared to return after contractors hit a gas line on Highland Avenue. Children were bused to Fox Lane High School for lunch while Con Edison and multiple police and fire departments secured the scene, drawing praise from the superintendent for the coordinated emergency response.
• BCSD will pay the price for closing school's gym (therecorder.org) — Bedford Central School District expects to spend about $80,000 on renting alternate facilities and transportation after closing Fox Lane High School's gym, but early audits show the district running roughly $3 million under budget overall. Officials explained how health insurance savings, bus route changes, and a new insurance consortium are stabilizing finances while they continue working to fix transportation issues affecting students.
• Residents ask Mount Kisco to add patrols, prevent theft from cars (therecorder.org) — Residents of the Mount Kisco Chase condo complex near the Bedford border are urging village officials to boost police patrols after a series of thefts from unlocked cars. They're also questioning the value of county police coverage and asking for surveillance cameras, while village leaders say they'll raise the concerns in upcoming talks with Westchester authorities.
