A message from the Superintendent

Superintendent's Update #8

September 2, 2021

Dear Chappaqua Central School District Families and Staff,

I hope that this letter finds you well. Last night’s storm was challenging for us, and I know it was challenging for many of our families and staff. Thank you for your flexibility this morning.  

I wanted to inform you that this afternoon, NY State Department of Health Commissioner, Howard Zucker, released a three-page document entitled, “Commissioner’s Determination on COVID-19 Testing Pursuant to 10NYCCR 2.62.”

This released document describes parameters related to vaccinations and COVID-19 testing of students and staff. Over the coming days, I will work with the CCSD administrative team, district physicians, and the Westchester County Department of Health to determine the most appropriate path forward for Chappaqua CSD. I will share recommendations for how to implement these new requirements with the Board of Education on September 14, 2021.  

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Sincerely,

Christine Ackerman, PhD
Superintendent of Schools
