Update on Procedure for Emergency Closure:
Update on Procedure for Emergency Closure:
Winter weather is on its way and now is a good time to become familiar with Lyncourt School District’s plans for emergency school closure days. The district’s 2020-21 academic calendar allows for five (5) emergency closure days, which are used when the district must close due to conditions beyond its control, such as inclement weather or an unplanned loss of utilities.
One of the five (5) planned days will be held held in reserve for June 18, 2021, in the event that the Juneteenth holiday will be recognized by New York state on Friday rather than being celebrated on Saturday, June 19, 2021.
One of the five (5) planned days will be held in reserve till the end of the school year in case of an unexpected emergency school closure ...

Important Information:
As you may have heard, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that parts of Onondaga County have been placed under new restrictions (yellow zone) due to a rising number of COVID-19 cases in the area. The Lyncourt School District is included in this yellow zone.
As part of the yellow zone designation, the Lyncourt School District must start randomly testing 20 percent of all people (students and staff) if the building conducts school in-person. This testing will take place weekly until further notice. Schools will remain open as long as a district reaches the 20 percent testing goal each week. If not, the district will continue with remote learning.
The district is working with Onondaga County to finalize details regarding how testing will be conducted throughout the ...
