Dear Students, Parents and Community Members,
We just received notice that schools will be able to open across NYS due to the low COVID infection rates we are experiencing. Yesterday less than 1% of people (70,170) who were tested for COVID had a positive result. As a District we are excited for the opportunity to welcome back all of our students and want to reassure our parents, staff, and community members that we are confident in the reopening plan developed to not only ensure the safety of everyone entering our facility but also to have fostered and environment that will be conducive to learning. This year will look and feel different in many ways, however, I know between the support of our parents and the care provided by all of our staff we can look forward to a school year filled with student academic and social success. Go Braves!

Dear BCS Families,
I hope this communication finds you all doing well and enjoying the summer season. Yesterday the NYS Department of Health (NYSDOH) released a document pertaining to the reopening of schools. We are expected to receive additional guidance from the NYS Department of Education (NYSED) on Wednesday. Planning for school reopening has already begun, however there are still many details that need to be coordinated and aligned to this recently released guidance.
As a District we will be required to submit a reopening plan to NYSED by July 31st. We have been told plans will be reviewed and approved/denied during the first week of August. As it currently stands, our region will reopen schools in September, provide we are experiencing less than a 5% positive COVID testing/infection rate. Today our region was at approximately a 1% infection rate.
Assuming schools do reopen, we will remain so, as long as the infection rate does not surpass 9%.
Please know when we talk about reopening it may be in the form of all students reporting each day, some students reporting on some days, or all students participating in their schooling remotely. The final reopening model will be determined based on our ability to adhere to guidelines and ultimately with the approval from NYS.
We will be sharing a survey very soon soliciting your input. Thank you for your patience, feedback and support of our District and children. Go Braves!
Yours in education,
John R. Marshall
Superintendent
