This afternoon, Ridgefield Public School (RPS) Superintendent, Dr. Susie DaSilva wrote a letter to the school community regarding the incident that took place last night at the RHS football game at Tiger Hollow.
"We are pleased to report that spectators in attendance reported to RHS staff that an individual was acting suspicious. RHS security, staff, along with the RPD, quickly isolated the individual away from the stadium field. Once away from the field, the RPD was able to assess the situation, and as written in the press release, the individual was identified and it was determined that there was no weapon. The individual was posted off the property."
DaSilva added, "It is expected that all guests attending RPS events will participate in a respectful and safe manner. Any individual behaving otherwise will be asked to leave immediately. As always, we use every event as an opportunity to learn about our procedures and fine tune our protocols to ensure a fun and safe event for all in attendance."
