The Governor has issued guidance which allows school boards to modify how they conduct
school business and also suspends the open meetings law:
Executive Order 202.1 Suspension of law allowing the attendance of meetings telephonically
or other similar service:
● Article 7 of the Public Officers Law, to the extent necessary to permit any public body to
meet and take such actions authorized by the law without permitting in public in-person
access to meetings and authorizing such meetings to be held remotely by conference
call or similar service, provided that the public has the ability to view or listen to such
proceeding and that such meetings are recorded and later transcribed;
In an effort to adhere to the social distancing guidance and comply with the modifications
above, the Board of Education will hold its next scheduled meetings utilizing the following
protocols:
