View the complete proposed Lansingburgh 2020-2021 School Year Reopening Plan here. This document was submitted to New York State on July 31, 2020, and outlines three possible learning models.

As noted in Dr. Abitabile's July 23 memo to families the district plan allows for younger grades to follow the In-Person Learning Plan, while students in older high school grades would follow the Hybrid Learning Plan (a mix of in-person and online).
