WPCNR CORONAVIRUS REPORT. From Chris Burdick, Bedford Town Supervisor. March 19, 2020:
Chris Burdick, the Beford Town Supervisor has shared the following from Westchester County:
“Westchester County has developed its childcare/food distribution plan in consultation with our school districts. The plan is structured to respond to the needs of our health care workers and first responders.
The majority of our health care workers reside in the cities; our plan accounts for that but is geographically balanced across the county.
At our direction, each of the following school districts, based on size, has identified three classrooms that will be available from 8am to 6pm to provide childcare to Westchester’s first responders and health care workers.
Each room will hold between ten (10) and twelve (12) kids. No children with any flue type symptom may attend. Each room will have an aid and/or teacher present and a nurse/WCC nursing student. The program will be assigned a full time administrator. The County will work with SED and these school districts on curriculum.
