Dear Catholic Schools
Community,
Please see this very important press release
from The New York State Catholic Conference on behalf of the Archdiocese of New
York and the Diocese of Brooklyn. This statement has
been delivered to the Office of Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio.
Millions of dollars and many
precious resources have been expended to safely reopen our Catholic schools.
Our principals, teachers and staff have worked too hard to keep our buildings
safe rigorously following the guidelines mandated by New York State and New
York City departments of health. We cannot stand by silently if our schools are
to be associated with other non-compliant private schools.
We intend to be just as proactive
in defending our ability to stay open and operate safely as we have been to
make our schools safe places for learning
Sincerely,
Mr. Michael J. Deegan
Superintendent of Schools
Archdiocese of New York
