Superintendent Blog Post - July 17, 2020
Dear Beacon Community:
I wanted to provide a brief update on BCSD reopening work. The New York State Education Department released their reopening guidelines on Thursday afternoon. You can read them here: http://www.nysed.gov/common/
While there is much important information, there are a couple of key takeaways. Social distancing will be required in school and on buses which will impact the number of students we can serve in person on any given day. Another key takeaway is the guidance asks school districts to provide remote education to students with health issues or who have family members with health issues. We are still working through what all of this might mean but I wanted to share that information right away.
We will be creating a short survey based on the guidance which will go out on Tuesday to try and capture people’s thinking right now. I also invite you to participate in one of the community zoom information and planning sessions. The information for the zoom sessions is at the end of this post. I will share a presentation at the zoom and answer questions on the chat.
We will also discuss reopening at Monday’s board meeting at 7:00
Summer is usually a time for fun and family. While I know we are all doing our best to still do that, I also realize that we are all anxious about what the future holds for school. As a dad, I am anxious too. Please know that we are collectively spending our time trying to create the best plans for health and safety, hybrid school models, and remote learning if and when it comes to that. I hope to see you on one of the zooms, your input on the survey, or on Main St. this summer.
Sincerely,
Matt Landahl
