Bath School District Lock-out Update

BATH SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT KELLY HOUCK / December 19, 2025

Earlier this morning the Bath CSD utilized one of our safety procedures by placing the district in a lockout (Not a lockdown) At this time the lockout has been lifted. From the onset, we did not believe there was a credible threat to the district, however, out of an abundance of caution we wanted to allow ourselves the time needed to fully review a concerning phone call. The entire situation has been investigated by law enforcement and the concern of any threat has been eliminated. This is why we have procedures and practice as we do. As always we thank our law enforcement partners for their swift response and constant dedication to our safety and we thank all of you for your continued support of Bath CSD. 

Statement From The Bath Village Police Department

Update on Bath Central School’s Lockout: There is currently no immediate danger to the school or the Village of Bath. There was a centralized threat and after investigation the suspect is in custody. The suspect will be transported to the Steuben County Jail for centralized arraignment. The Lockout has been lifted.
