Face Masks at School Still Required 6-6-21 Update
Dear Erie 1 BOCES Families,
On Friday, Governor Cuomo announced that Dr. Howard Zucker sent a memo to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlining facemask changes for schools. We are pleased to see the reduction in COVID-19 cases and restrictions. However, until this guidance is formally sent by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), received, and reviewed by the District, we will continue to follow our COVID-19 reopening plan safety protocols, including masking for students and staff.
We want our entire school community to feel safe and secure in our learning environments. We appreciate your patience and the steps you have taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our school community. Once we receive the anticipated guidance from the Department of Health, we will provide another update.
Sincerely,
Michael Capuana
Assistant Superintendent of Instruction
