Local School Officials Confused by State COVID Guidance

Some Monroe County school officials say they are frustrated about the school re-opening guidance that was released Friday afternoon from the New York State Health Department.

Kathleen Graupman, President of the Monroe County Council of School Superintendents and the Greece Superintendent, says one of the sections of the guidance regarding distancing between students is tied to the COVID transmission rate in the area.

Graupman says right now the Greece Central School District is considered in a red zone, even though she says they have been able to demonstrate that in person learning can be done safely.

The state guidance also leaves enforcement of district re-opening plans up to the local health departments.

Graupman says her district has sent a list of questions to the County Health Department and hopes to get some answers soon.
