New York State Will Not Issue Any Covid-19 Guidlines For The 2021-22 School Year

Bo Wright who is the president of the Monroe County Council of school superintendents issued a statement on Thursday.

“The Monroe County Council of Superintendents has confirmed that the state does not intend to issue guidance regarding reopening of schools in September. For months, we have asked New York to provide guidance as soon as possible. The announcement that there will be no direction at all from the state comes as a complete surprise. Now, with only four weeks left before the first day of school, districts will continue the conversation about how best to approach reopening. This will take some time, as each district has a unique set of circumstances regarding their student population, available space and resources, busing, and more. Local districts remain committed to reopening in-person five days a week, and will share their plans with families and staff as soon as possible.”
