School Updates

Last week, school districts were required to submit reopening plans based on strict Department of Health guidelines to the State for the DOH to review.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Friday that schools in regions with low infection rates will be allowed to reopen for the Fall.

School districts must post their remote learning plan online as well as their plans for testing and contact tracing by August 21 to be in compliance.

Schools must also have 3-5 public meetings prior to August 21 with parents, and an additional meeting with teachers to discuss the reopening plan.

The DOH will be in touch with school districts this week about the status of their reopening plans and will work with districts if changes need to be made.

Some districts have not submitted in-person reopening plans yet- if those districts do not submit plans for in-person learning by Friday August 14, they will not be able to provide in-person learning this year.
