Gates Chili CSD and multiple stakeholder groups have been working diligently to identify the most effective model for educating our students this fall. Taking into consideration all of the ideas and concepts shared through both staff and parent surveys and multiple advisory committees, the district has submitted plans for three reopening scenarios. Each of these plans are anchored by the guidance provided by the New York State Education Department and New York State Department of Health. 

With the current guidance in place, the district cannot implement a full, in-person return to school so we are proposing a hybrid model to begin the 2020-21 school year. Throughout this process we will continue to assess our plan with the hope of having students back in school on a full-time basis at some point down the road, if allowed and safe.
