Text of Message from the Superintendent of Schools
January 25, 2022
Good morning Yonkers Public Schools Staff and Families,
The District is aware of yesterday’s New York State Supreme Court ruling regarding the legality of the State mandate requiring mask wearing in schools and public spaces, as well as the anticipated appeal of this decision.
Late yesterday, the New York State Department of Education issued a statement that “schools must continue to follow the mask rule.”
Therefore, until we receive a definitive decision from the New York State Department of Education and Department of Health, Yonkers schools will continue to wear masks at all times in our buildings.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Mensaje del Superintendente
25 enero 2022
El Distrito está al tanto de la decisión tomada ayer por un juez de la Corte Suprema de Nueva York la cual dictaminó que es posible que ya no se requieran máscaras en los entornos escolares y en lugares públicos, así como la apelación de esta decisión por el estado.
Poco después que esta decisión de la corte fue emitida, el Departamento de Educación del Estado de Nueva York envió una carta a las escuelas en la que advierte a todos los distritos escolares del estado de Nueva York que deben continuar cumpliendo con los requisitos del uso de mascarillas en las escuelas y autobuses escolares.
Por lo tanto, hasta que recibamos una decisión definitiva del Departamento de Educación y el Departamento de Salud del Estado de Nueva York, las Escuelas Públicas de Yonkers continuaran implementado el uso universal de mascarillas.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo.
