Sex Offenders
Sex Offender Relocation Notice for the Holland School District:
Here are three websites for locating sex offenders:
The first is a national site which maps an area around your address with notations for offenders in your area.
http://www.familywatchdog.us
The second is the Erie County Sheriff's Department Website. The Erie County Sheriff is responsible to report to us when a new sex offender moves into the area.
On the Erie County Sheriff's site, click on "Offender Watch" on the left hand side of the home page. Also -Any resident may "Register for e-mail Alerts", which is located on the menu tab of this site. When registered, you will receive an e-mail alert on your computer whenever a sex offender moves into the area. This service is free.
The third is the Federal Website.
If you would rather communicate directly by phone, you may contact Holland School Resource Officer, Dylan Dreyer at 537-8236.

Although neither the State of New York nor the County of Erie has Residency Restriction Laws as to where a registered sex offender may reside, the Town of Holland, as of August 13, 2008, has enacted the following local law:
"It is unlawful for a person over the age of 18 years convicted of a sexual offense upon a child of the age of 16 years or under in New York State or any other state or jurisdiction, or who has been convicted in a Federal District Court of any offense involving child pornography, to reside or live within 1,500 feet of any school, park, preschool, playground, athletic field, child care center or day care center."
This information may not be used to commit a crime against a person listed in the Registry or engage in illegal discrimination or harassment against such a person.
