Feb 4, 2021 What you do outside of school has a direct impact on whether schools can remain open to in-person learning. Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES serves 23 schools across 10 school districts, and it operates two schools itself. Out of all of the students, staff and teachers in all of those schools and school districts, we are only aware of a handful of COVID-19 cases being spread within our schools. We have strong plans in place to prevent spread of the virus once it’s brought into our schools physical distancing, strict mask adherence, cleaning standards and more. Each of our school districts has a reopening plan that can be viewed on our websites that sets forth this guidance. These rules have been successful in stopping any pandemic spread inside our buildings.
