BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â The Buffalo Teachers Federation is threatening legal action in order to prevent Buffalo Public Schools reopening on February 1st.
The Buffalo Teachers Federation released the following statement to 7 Eyewitness News
All Buffalo teachers miss their students and want to be back with them; however, they want to be confident that the teaching and learning conditions are and remain safe for their students, parents, staff, community and themselves. We have sent information to the district in an effort to work with them to resolve serious health and safety concerns. Some health concerns have been addressed; however, the teachers at each school/site have not received written assurance that the safety and health issues they have raised at their school/site have been addressed. To ensure that our schools/sites provide for a healthful and safe return, the BTF will seek court action to prevent the unsafe return of students and staff until such time as the serious safety and health issues have been an remain corrected.
