    Lobby Albany - Your advocacy is needed!

     

     

    We need your help to keep our schools open.

    The Governor has implemented a new mandate that will result in the closing of our schools.

    • The cluster zone strategy identifies areas with rising infection rates and places restrictions to limit the spread of Covid 19.
    • In order to keep schools open the mandate requires our District to test 20% of students, faculty and staff – every week.
    • Schools are not licensed to administer Covid tests, and the cost of implementation is prohibitive.
    • Please help us advocate for support and funding to implement these testing mandates.
