Editor’s Note: This is the first of a two-part series looking back on the Hornell City School District’s 2020 year and ahead to 2021.
HORNELL Local education officials use words like “unprecedented,” “challenging,” and “incomparable” when describing 2020, and more specifically the period between March when all New York state school buildings were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and late December, when many area districts entered the holiday break on remote instruction only due an uptick in virus cases.
Years from now, when the pandemic is long over, Hornell School Superintendent Jeremy Palotti hopes another word will best describe 2020 “anomaly.”
