Education

Child care access is expanding across New York state thanks to funding in the latest budget that was passed earlier this month.

Rochester City School District leaders and community activists met with the U.S. Attorney for Western New York on Friday as part of the “Each One Reach One” campaign to help students on their path to higher education.

The funding will help to formalize and expand the institute’s national hub of innovation for deaf and hard-of-hearing biomedical scientists and health care professionals.

On Monday, a 10-year-old Buffalo Public Schools student returned to school for the first time in almost two years, just weeks after his family filed a federal lawsuit against the district, regarding reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

As of Monday, students who are exposed to COVID-19 at school will be able to be tested. If the test result is negative, the student can remain in school for classroom instruction.

Rochester City School District Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small said Monday that 25 of the district’s 47 schools will return to in-person learning by Wednesday.

Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small said the change is a "temporary measure, as the limited number of staff and shortage of substitutes directly impacts our ability to educate and transport your children in a safe, efficient, and orderly manner.”

The partnership between East High School and The University of Rochester has been extended through 2025.
