Terry Taylor found herself in a tenuous situation at the start of the pandemic: she had recently suffered a personal injury and her job as a tutor at Washington Irving was suspended amid hundreds of school district layoffs.
Taylor, who grew up in Schenectady’s Hamilton Hill neighborhood, started working as a paraprofessional at Schenectady High School in 2004, and after three years at the high school, she went back to school and earned a bachelor’s degree. In 2013, she returned to the district and worked as a tutor at Washington Irving, the district’s alternative school, which offers tutoring to students serving out suspensions. She did that up until the pandemic, when the job was cut.
Rebecca Werbela of Cazenovia, New York, never imagined herself as an agriculture teacher, yet that is exactly what she has been doing since 2018. At least the subject matter would have been an easy guess. The Wallingford, Vermont, native grew up caring for horses at Pond Hill Ranch in Castleton, Vermont â an experience she loved. She showed in 4-H and worked at the 2,000-acre ranch during the summers from when she was age 13.
As her high school graduation drew near, she looked at a few colleges, but felt that the rural location of State University of New York (SUNY) Morrisville was a good fit for her. She graduated in 2004 with a bachelorâs degree in equine science.

Syracuse, N.Y. – College graduates in New York state attending commencement ceremonies next month should hold onto their hats. Literally.
The ceremonial tossing of graduation caps into the air is a no-no. So are hugs, handshakes and refreshments.
Even public restroom occupancy will be curtailed.
Those are some of the details covered in nine pages of guidance the state issued last week on how colleges and other schools should conduct graduation ceremonies amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
