The 20 people connected to the dance school cases who have tested positive range from 6 to 17 years old, and are from several school districts, Picente said.
The Whitesboro Central School District near Utica resumed in-person learning Wednesday, a day after going fully remote because of the exposures. Superintendent Brian Bellair told the Observer-Dispatch of Utica that he expects about 300 students from a mix of grade levels, including a few entire elementary school classes, to be under quarantine.
Picente said the dance school, which he didn’t identify, failed to practice proper pandemic protocols.
“Carelessness is preventing us from returning to normal and punishing the people who are doing all the right things,” Picente said.

Vaccination efforts across Onondaga County continue moving forward with all people 16 and older now eligible to get a shot. Around 52% of the county’s adult population has received at least the first dose of the vaccine. The clinic at the OnCenter is administering six to nine thousand first doses a week, pharmacies have open appointments, and local colleges are planning clinics of their own.
While these sites may still be busy now, Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon expects the county will soon shift their focus to serve under vaccinated communities. We really need to work with our community partners to get out there. We’ll start doing reverse 911 calls for pop-up clinics, walk-up pop-up clinics in neighborhoods. These are all things that we’re going to have to do and make it really easy for those who maybe don’t have hesitancy, they’re just busy, said McMahon.
