Appellate Court grants state’s request; face masks continue to be required inside schools

On Jan. 26, Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District sent the following letter via SchoolMessenger to J-D families and staff. 

---

Dear J-D families and staff,

As you likely heard, the Appellate Division granted the application by the Department of Health and the Governor’s office, confirming the lower court’s decision is stayed pending further proceedings. As such, the mask mandate remains in effect for schools across the state.

Again, thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Peter Smith
