The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has issued a statement reporting that the air quality index is considered at an unhealthy level.
Both the DEC and Department of Health recommend limiting or reducing outdoor activities when this type of health advisory is in effect. In response, Gates Chili is holding physical education classes and recess indoors on June 6-7. In addition, all outdoor athletic activities have been moved indoors. Community members are strongly encouraged not to use the district’s outdoor facilities at this time. Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.
