We would like to provide our school community with an update on reopening in September. We have been planning for different scenarios (in-person, remote and hybrid) and additional resources such as personal protective equipment, cleaning supplies, thermometers and other health and safety needs. To date, we have not received final guidance on reopening from the state. Governor Cuomo indicated today that this guidance will be released on July 13. 

Individual school district reopening plans will be due to the state by July 31 and the Governor will make a decision on reopening during the week of August 1. As you can imagine, we have a lot of work to finalize a reopening plan that ensures the safety of our students and staff. We ask for your patience as we work through this process. We will continue to engage the community via surveyand/or through school reopening committeecomprised of different stakeholders. Although the decision to open schools is not at the local level, our priority will continue to be the health and safety of all students and staff, and supporting our students and families during this time of crisis.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding, and please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Angelina Maloney

Superintendent, Brunswick CSD
