GOOD AFTERNOON, IT IS MONDAY JUNE 7TH. I’M DARRON WALLACE WITH TODAY’S NCC NEWS BRIEF.

MOST SUPERINTENDENTS ACROSS CENTRAL NEW YORK ARE SAYING MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED AT SCHOOLS DESPITE THE STATE ANNOUNCING ON FRIDAY THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE REQUIRED.

NEW YORK STATE HEALTH COMMISSIONER DR. HOWARD ZUCKER SENT A LETTER ON FRIDAY SAYING VACCINATED STUDENTS AND FACULTY DON’T HAVE TO WEAR MASKS.

THE SUPERINTENDENTS SAY THAT UNTIL THERE IS ANY KIND OF EXECUTIVE ORDER OR MANDATE REGARDING MASK WEARING, THEY WILL CHOOSE TO REQUIRE MASKS AT SCHOOLS ACROSS CENTRAL NEW YORK.

THE SYRACUSE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ALSO RECEIVING $100 MILLION DOLLARS IN COVID-19 STIMULUS MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THE DISTRICT SENT OUT SURVEYS TO PARENTS ASKING FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY. THEY MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JUNE 18TH.

THE CNY POOR PEOPLE’S CAMPAIGN IS RALLYING DOWNTOWN AS PART OF A NATIONWIDE EFFORT TO ENDORSE THE NON-PARTISAN THIRD RECONSTRUCTION ACT.

THE THIRD RECONSTRUCTION CALLS FOR A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRUCTURING OF SOCIETY THAT LIFTS FROM THE BOTTOM, TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR.

SYRACUSE STUDENTS, IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO STAY ACTIVE THIS SUMMER LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE ROCK WALL AT THE BARNES CENTER.

S-U STUDENT OLIVER SUGARMAN SAYS WITH THE ROCK WALL COMMUNITY, HE MANAGED TO MAKE FRIENDS AND EVEN GET A JOB.

Oliver:
I just used to come in to the rock wall all the time and I made friends with a couple people that worked here. Then I ended u working here and I got along well with them. It was kind of a thing where I guess I’ve found my people in a way.
