The Croton-Harmon School District is adjusting its school reopening plan after an employee at Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School tested positive.

Superintendent Dr. Deborah O'Connell says that all students in grades K through 12 will now begin the year remotely from Sept. 8 through Sept. 11. Those will also be half-days.

 

The announcement was made during last night's school board meeting. "The exposed individuals, we worked with the DOH to determine who they are. And again, if you go back to our plan, those are the steps. We share it with the DOH, when they find out something, they share it with the district," says Dr. O’Connell.

The superintendent also is telling families and staff to be prepared for changes going forward.              

News 12 has been told the individual tested positive this past Friday.
