St. Lawrence County school officials are making plans to bring back more students following revised New York State Department of Health COVID-19 guidance for schools. Any changes will involve discussion with school boards and other stakeholders.
On Friday, the NYDOH released updated guidance that would allow schools to reduce social distancing between students in the classroom from six to three feet with certain protocols in place.
“Following the updated guidance from the CDC, we have been expecting the change in social distancing and have been working with staff and parents to plan for changes this school year,” said Potsdam Central School Superintendent Joann Chambers.
