Interim NYSDOH Guidance for Classroom Instruction P-12 Schools - 2021-22

Posted by: on Thursday, September 2, 2021

New York State recognizes that opening pre-kindergarten through grade 12 schools for inperson instruction is critical to student health, well-being, academic success, and social functioning. In alignment with international and national experts, the State is committed to prioritizing in-person learning while adhering to multiple mitigation strategies that include vaccination, the appropriate use of face masks, physical distancing and screening testing to monitor transmission and inform local public health actions. Combining these mitigation strategies increases community confidence in in-person instruction and prevents transmission of COVID-19. This reduces exposures and quarantines and increases schools’ ability to remain open despite fluctuating background COVID-19 rates in the community. Please note that the following guidance applies to P-12 elementary and secondary, public, charter, private, and state-operated schools, including residential schools and programs serving students with disabilities, as regulated by the NYS Education Department. It does not apply to institutions of higher education
