ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Rochester area school superintendents say they want kids back in school five days per week for the last grading period, but they need clearly defined metrics from the New York State Department of Health as to what it will take to make that happen.
“I think it would be a gigantic relief for kids, for families, for teachers eventually I think there's some stress involved there but, if we could get everyone back for the fourth quarter just to have some normalcy before we leave for summer," said Greece Superintendent Kathleen Graupman who is also the President of the Monroe County Superintendents Council. "I think it would do wonders for everybody's mental health, emotional health and even from just a learning perspective… if I can take advantage of 10 weeks of everybody, every day, I would gladly do that.”
