BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â A State Supreme Court has denied a preliminary injunction from a group of parents looking to return their children to the classroom five days a week.
The parents, from both the Williamsville and Orchard Park Central School Districts, initially filed for an injunction in State Supreme Court in hopes of resuming five-day in-person learning for students. In the court filing, the parents cite a number of issues, ranging from behavioral to academic, that they say have arisen since the start of remote and hybrid learning in March of 2020.
Another hearing on the matter is now scheduled for May 7, with Judge Emilio Colaiacovo ruling the complaint has merit and requires further examination. The judge acknowledged the issues raised by the parents involved cannot be ignored, adding that it certainly shows the irreparable harm they (students) will face if Williamsville and Orchard continue to rely on the Hybrid/

GOWANDA Despite some empty seats on the school board, remaining members and newly elected President Dana Szalay are ready for a new chapter that does not include as much controversy and in-fighting.
During an earlier meeting this month, the board officially voted Szalay as president. The board had been without an official leader since Ron Cook resigned from the board in November while seats held by both Janet Vogtli and David Barnes, who both resigned last month, remain open.
Szalay hopes the changes can begin a healing process. “There are some things shared in the public, and people can say whatever they want to the public, but that doesn’t make it true,” she said. “We really want the employees of the district, people in the community, and students to know that we truly are there for them as support, and we encourage folks to come to any one of us with positive stories, concerns, or other ideas. It’s unfortunate that some folks may only share

GOWANDA Following months of tension on the Gowanda Central School Board of Education, two of the most outspoken and controversial members handed in their letters of resignation last week.
On Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.., the board confirmed the resignations of members David Barnes and Janet Vogtli during its most recent meeting. Both Barnes and Vogtli cited their views that members of the board are operating without cooperation from the rest of the board, with one instance being cited in particular.
During the Dec, 2 board meeting, member Jim Hotnich proposed a one-year extension of Gowanda Superintendent, Dr. Robert Anderson. The motion to extend Dr. Anderson was not on the agenda for the meeting, causing Vogtli to fight against the extension, which inevitably passed. Dr. Anderson’s extension was a primary reason for both Barnes and Vogtli’s resignation.
