COVID-19 Directive

All people who enter school property, which also includes school vehicles, or attend school sponsored events are directed and required to follow the Herkimer Central School District Reopening Plan and written protocols.

This includes, but is not limited to, any requirements to wear face masks, wash hands, maintain social distancing, permit temperature checks, and answer screening questionnaires.

Failure to follow the Plan or protocols, as well as failure to follow the directive of an-appropriate school official relating to following the Plan or protocols, may result in a person being refused entrance, or an administrator directing the person to leave the school property or event. It may also result in further consequences as follows:

  • for all people, the District may contact law enforcement for trespass where the person refuses to leave school property as directed, as well as for any other violations committed;
  • for students, discipline pursuant to the District’s Code of Conduct for insubordination, endangering the health, safety, or welfare of others, as well as other applicable violations of the Code of Conduct;
  • for parents and other visitors, ban on attending school events as well as consequences pursuant to the Visitors’ Code of Conduct;
  • for school personnel, formal discipline, up to and including termination.
