Rye Country Day School Operating As Normal, Investigation Continues

Rye Country Day School is operating as normal today after a money scamming phone call caused police to evacuate the school yesterday, according to Rye City Police Commissioner William Connors. 

The investigation into the phone call placed to an administrative staff member at RCDS, which allegedly referenced snipers on campus and explosives, is ongoing, Connors said.

Yesterday, Rye police, along with Rye Brook, County and State police and the FBI investigated the origin of the call and the RCDS campus. Authorities did not find any threatening materials on campus yesterday, Connors said. Police continue to investigate the call, but school was held as normal today.
