Advocating for Updated Guidance Re: Masks
Dear Galway Families,
Last night, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued new recommendations for mask wearing. While the new guidance is a welcome change, the current New York State school mask mandates remain in effect. As part of the district's advocacy efforts, the 31 school superintendents in the WSWHE BOCES sent a letter to Governor Hochul and Health Commissioner Bassett urging New York State to remove the mandate for masking in school facilities, and on school buses, as soon as possible and before we return from February recess on Monday, February 28. Please click here to read the letter.
If there are any new developments, we will be sure to communicate them with you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your on-going patience and support,
Dr. Brita Donovan
