Dear families, 

Yesterday afternoon, the Appellate Division, Second Department of the Courts of New York heard a preliminary hearing for the appeal of the Nassau County Supreme Court decision from Monday.  Following that hearing, Judge Miller granted the application for appeal by the Department of Health and the Governor’s Office through Friday, January 28th to permit the parties an opportunity for additional presentations.

As a result, all public school districts in New York State remain subject to the Department of Health masking regulation through the proceedings on January 28th and the subsequent determination.

The district will continue to monitor any and all proceedings and work to keep you as informed as possible.

The district realizes the past couple of days have been a confusing and frustrating time and we share those feelings with you.  We continue to appreciate your patience and support as we work together during this challenging time.

Brian George

Superintendent
