THAT TODAY’S WOULD BE ONLINE.
I WAS ABLE TO TELL MY DAUGHTER
LAST NIGHT IT WOKE UP SAID HEY,
YOU GET TO SLEEP IN A LITTLE BIT
TOMORROW TOM BEAVERS GOT A CALL
JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT LETTING HIM
KNOW HIS DAUGHTER A FRESHMAN AT
BATAVIA HIGH SCHOOL WOULD SPEND
TODAY LEARNING FROM HOME SAYING
JUST FOR PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
MEASURES.
THERE WAS A STUDENT WHO HAD
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID AND SO
BECAUSE OF THAT THERE WAS NO WAY
TO CONTACT EVERYBODY SO THEY
WERE JUST CALLING OFF SCHOOL FOR
ONE DAY BATAVIA LOCAL SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT KEITH MILLARD
DECLINED TO REVEAL WHO TESTED
POSITIVE.
HE SAID THE TIMING OF THE CASE
WHICH HE FOUND OUT ABOUT LATE
LAST NIGHT WAS THE REASON HE
SHIFTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO
ONE DAY OF REMOTE LEARNING.
THESE ARE VERY DIFFICULT CASE BY
CASE DECISIONS.
WE CERTAINLY DIDN’T WANT HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE WE OPEN SCHOOL
AND IN POTENTIALLY HAD STUDENTS
WHO HAD NOT CONTACTED WHO NEEDED
A QUARANTINE IN ADDITION TO
SHIFTING STUDENTS TO A DAY OF
DISTANCE LEARNING BATAVIA HIGH
SCHOOL’S FOOTBALL GAME TONIGHT
AGAINST THE WILMINGTON HURRICANE
HAS BEEN POSTPONED MILLARD SAYS
BULLDOG FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE
AMONG THOSE WHO HAD CLOSE
CONTAC A PERSON WHO TESTED
POSITIVE.
IT’S SAD, YOU KNOW, IT’S SAD FOR
THE KIDS, ESPECIALLY THE SENIORS
HAVE A COUPLE KIDS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT’S REALLY REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL
PLAYERS, AND THEY DON’T KNOW
THEY WORK THEIR -- OFF.
IT’S SAD TOM BEAVERS HOPES HIS
DAUGHTER AND HER CLASSMATES ARE
BACK IN CLASS TUESDAY, WHICH IS
CURRENTLY THE PLAN AND THAT ALL
STUDENTS TAKE THE CORONAVIRUS
SERIOUSLY.
SOME LIKE IS HOPEFULLY NOW NOT
CLEAR THIS POINT HOW MANY
STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO SPEND THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IN QUARANTINE
BATAVIA SUPERINTENDENT.
DID TELL ME THE CONTACT TRACING
PROCESS CAME TO AN END RIGHT
AROUND THE TIME THAT HE AND I
SPOKE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT IN
BATAVIA TODD -- WLWT NEWS 5, BUT
WE KNOW WHAT ABO SCHOOLS WANTS
TO HAVE KIDS IN CLASS FIVE DAYS

IMPACTED BY TODAY’S SHI REMOTE
LEARNING?

600 STUDENTS WHO GO TO CLASS
HERE AT BATAVIA HIGH RUN A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY OF THOSE HAD
OPTED FOR THE FULL VIRTUAL
ONLINE LEARNING PROCESS THAT MEN
