New York required all school districts to propose a reopening plan that includes models for in-person instruction, fully-virtual instruction and a hybrid of in-person and virtual instruction, with each following the NYS Department of Health Guidelines and NYSED Guidelines for Reopening.
With Gov. Cuomo announcing on Aug. 7 that schools can reopen for in-person instruction, the district is moving forward with its hybrid instructional plan.
