School officials around our area all can agree that this past year was a true test of what their districts can handle. At this point, they say they aren t living in fear of the virus and are more than ready to get back to normal. Everything changed really quick, it was something you heard about in the movies and seen but never really done before,” Gates-Chili Superintendent Christopher Daily said.

By collaborating to create local safety measures, K-12 schools across the Finger Lakes region were able to remain open and secure for students during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report released today.
Issued by the Finger Lakes Reopening Schools Safely Task Force, the interim report summarizes the task force’s work since its formation in July 2020. As part of its ongoing efforts to reopen schools, the group sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo asking for more clarity on the metric indicators required for schools to open more fully for in-person learning, along with a copy of its interim report.
