Jamestown (JPS)  Jamestown Public Schools open this school year today (Thursday) under the new Jamestown Public School District Health & Safety plan.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Lech points out that  some operations and protocols are different, this school year.

Some of those, include encouraging the  wearing of a mask and decreased visitation, for the safety students, teachers, and faculty.

Dr. Lech says the school district has protocols in place if there is a positive COVID-19 case in the  school district, adding that if a positive case found in the district, each of the school building’s administrators will be responsible to contact trace.  Each education level will have assistance with contact tracing if needed.
