Pioneer's revised district safety plan has been posted to the website to include Desha's Law. Desha’s Law is a New York State law enacted in July 2025 that requires all public schools to include a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) in their district-wide and building-level school safety plans. The law is named in memory of Desha Sanders, a 12-year-old student who tragically died of sudden cardiac arrest at school in 2009 due to delayed access to a defibrillator.

With our first big Memorial Stadium event coming up Friday, 9/12 (varsity football home opener), Pioneer is reminding spectators of the district bag procedure.
Earlier today (9/5), out of an abundance of caution, our schools entered a shelter-in-place after reports of what sounded like possible gunshots in the surrounding area. Our law enforcement partners immediately investigated and determined that the noises were coming from an animal defense system, not gunfire. At no time were our students or staff in danger. We appreciate the swift response of our staff, students, law enforcement, and the cooperation of our school community in following our safety protocols.
