Acknowledgments
A huge thank you to the dedicated members of our SGI Reopening Committee. We received the guidance documents from the New York State Education Department, the Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control July 15-17, 2020. Members of the committee studied the hundreds of pages of guidance and then met on sub-committees focused on Teaching, Learning/Student Support, Wellness, and Operations for countless hours. We collaborated on a shared document that is the resulting plan. From our first meeting on July 20 to July 28, we accomplished much by working together with good intentions to develop the best possible plan, following all guidance, for our students and school community.
Thank you to the Sub-Committee Facilitators Shanda DuClon, Christopher Scarpine, Katherine Townsend and Maureen Lee. Thank you also to JoAnn DePue, who’s constantly working to keep our district level plans up to date and moving forward.
Thank you to all of the members of the Erie 2 Regional Work Group, educators from component districts in Erie 2, who worked for six weeks prior to the guidance release to develop a playbook that we followed to form our plan.
Our SGI Reopening Committee Members are as follows. Again, thank you for all of your hard work, time and collaborative efforts!
