Our students come from all parts of the City. These are not neighborhood schools where COVID would be spread among friends in the neighborhood.
Indeed, in the winter there is little mingling among students while not at school.
The Buffalo Teachers Federation calls for a Federal, State and County investigation and analysis of these and other similar statistics so that appropriate actions can be taken to halt the spread of COVID and keep our students, parents, staff and community safe”, stated Philip Rumore, President.
“The BTF also called for caution prior to removing any school mandates as many districts will be having one week mid-winter recess (most from February 21 to February 28, 2022). A significant increase in positive cases has occurred after such recesses”, concluded Rumore.
