Addendum to School Safety Plan - September 22, 2025
The Board of Education of the Gouverneur Central School District shall hold a public hearing on September 22, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. in the High School Auditorium located at 133 East Barney Street, Gouverneur, NY. to discuss the proposed required cardiac arrest addendum to the District-Wide School Safety Plan.
In compliance with Education Law §2801-a(n) (Desha’s Law) and Public Health Law §917, the Gouverneur Central School District has established a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) to ensure a prompt, coordinated, and effective response to incidents of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or similar life-threatening emergencies occurring on any school site or at any school-sponsored event, including athletic programs.
Read the
proposed CERP addendum. The addendum is anticipated to be adopted and will be made part of the 2025-2026 District-Wide School Safety Plan.
The Public Hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be followed by the regular board meeting. The current
Safety Plan can always be found in the documents area of the district menu. The public is welcome to submit any comments or questions prior to the Public Hearing by sending them to Tatia Z. Kennedy, District Clerk, at
kennedy.tatia@gcsk12.org.
Snow Days and Remote Learning
The district now has an option to utilize fully remote instruction in place of snow days. We will begin by using traditional snow days in case of inclement weather. As the winter settles in, we will monitor our use of snow days and use fully remote snow days only if it is necessary, after we have exhausted all traditional snow days. We currently have five (5) snow days built in for the 2025-2026 school year, and if we decide to utilize a fully remote day in place ofa traditional snow day, we will make that clear on our closing notifications.
You can find more detailed information by reading the documents below from our Superintendent Kelly.
