Dear Warrior Nation,
As further guidance is emerging from the Department of Health, NYS and our region, I would like to update our students and staff of our planned course of action should Salamanca be designated as a yellow, orange or red micro-cluster. Cattaraugus County is NOT in imminent danger of a micro-cluster designation. We will provide updates as circumstances change.
Please stay safe and follow safety protocols.
Sincerely,
Robert Breidenstein
Superintendent
