Brasher Falls Central School District

Brasher Falls Central School District is on a TWO Hour Delay. This will include NO Morning Pre-K and NO Morning Program for today, February 3rd.

Message from NYS Education Department Monday Evening: The State Education Department understands that Nassau County Supreme Court has ruled that the Department of Health exceeded its authority in enacting the mask regulation, 10 NYCRR 2.60, in Demetriou et al. v. New York State Dep’t of Health et al. This regulation is the subject of conflicting decisions, insofar as Albany County Supreme Court recently upheld the regulation in Massapequa UFSD et al. v. Hochul, et al. It is SED’s understanding that the Department of Health will appeal the Nassau County Supreme Court decision, which will result in an automatic stay that will unambiguously restore the mask rule until such time as an appellate court issues a further ruling. Therefore, schools must continue to follow the mask rule. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through the expected and unexpected daily/weekly changes we are dealing with. For now, masks are still mandated for everyone in school.

Reminder: On Friday, January 28th, BFCSD will being having an early dismissal for staff development. MS/HS students will be dismissed at 11:30 and Elementary students will be dismissed at 12:30. Lunches will be served prior to dismissal.

St. Lawrence Central Schools are closed for today, January 13th.
