- Though Niagara County still remains free of COVID-19 cases, a state of emergency was declared Sunday - and all school districts will close Monday.
Niagara County Legislature Chairwoman Becky Wydysh held a press conference at the Warren J. Rathke Public Safety Training Facility in Lockport to announce these measures. She read a statement from the gathered superintendents that stated, “Niagara County has issued a state of emergency and the Niagara County Health Department has recommended that all schools be closed for students, effective Monday, March 16, and until further notice. …
“Districts will reassess student attendance weekly. Districts will be providing separate information on staff attendance, academics and food service.”
This applies to the Albion, Barker, Lockport, Lewiston-Porter, Medina, Niagara-Wheatfield, North Tonawanda, Newfane, Niagara Falls, Starpoint, Royalton-Hartland, Lyndonville and Wilson school districts.
Wydysh was joined by Niagara County Director of Public Health Daniel Stapleton, Emergency Services Director Jonathan Schultz, Interim Sheriff Michael Filicetti and Dr. Clark Godshall of Orleans/Niagara BOCES.
