BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â A judge has denied the Buffalo Teachers Federation request for a temporary restraining order aimed at blocking the reopening of schools in Buffalo.
The lawsuit was filed by the BTF Friday and alleges Buffalo Public Schools are not safe enough to reopen for in-person learning.
According to the lawsuit the BTF says it has not seen proof that, "any building modifications or other precautionary health and safety measures have been made that would sufficiently change their facilities from the self-described 'volcano' of December 2020 to a safe and healthy school environment by February 1, 2021."
