    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon has asserted that he has the authority to override state and CDC
    guidance as it pertains to social distancing, shortening the distancing of students from six feet to three feet. The
    County Executive has noted low infection rates in the county as a factor that supports his decision that it is safe
    to bring more students back to school county wide.

    While County Executive McMahon has not stated it publicly, it is our understanding that within the state and
    CDC guidance, there is language that allows the district to reduce social distancing if barriers are utilized.

    The Syracuse Teachers Association met with our representative assembly last night and while we all want
    students back for in person learning, there are many health and safety concerns and questions, as well as
    logistical concerns noted by the membership that will need to be addressed in order to ensure a safe return.

    Throughout next week, STA will hold focus groups in an effort to identify specific concerns noted by the
    people doing the work. We will share those concerns with the Superintendent, Department Heads, other
    district leaders as well as the SCSD School Board. Based on feedback from our membership, we may draft
    a resolution that will speak to the concerns that need to be addressed in order to return to implement a safe
    as possible return to in person learning.
