Statement from Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small
Today Governor Cuomo announced that levels of COVID-19 are low enough to open schools in New York State. In addition, the Governor is requiring districts to do the following:

  • Post their remote learning, testing, and contact tracing plans online
  • Schedule five discussion sessions with parents and caregivers before August 21 
  • Schedule a discussion session with staff before August 21

These specific components of our plan will be readily accessible to all stakeholders no later than August 21, as outlined by the Governor, via our dedicated reopening website at www.rcsdk12.org/reopens. Also, our COVID-19 reopening team will review our school and District plans to determine if any changes need to be made.

While this has been one of the most challenging times for our students, parents, and staff, we are committed to ensuring that high-quality learning takes place for all students in a fair and equitable way.
