School districts are starting to outline plans for proms and graduation ceremonies this spring, even as they call on state officials to offer school-specific guidelines to work from.
Dozens of superintendents across the region on Wednesday sent a joint letter to state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker asking for new guidelines that specifically address end-of-year school events like proms and graduation ceremonies.
“While schools are eager to commemorate milestone events and help students celebrate in a safe manner, we will not jeopardize our students’ or the public’s health in doing so,” the superintendents wrote in a joint letter from the Capital Region and Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES districts. “Guidance that directly addresses these events is critical.”
