CANCELED: Brooklyn Borough Based Council Meeting

In light of the Mayor’s announcement that all NYC DOE Public schools are closed through April 20^th, at least, CCSI has to cancel what would have been our BKBBC April 24^th in-person meeting. We are aware of how schools closing impacts all families considering additional work and homeschool scheduling adjustments in the midst of social distancing mandates from the city in light of COVID-19. Please take care of yourselves! We know the transition out of quarantines will make it more challenging for people to come in person for April 2020.

As CCSI, we are following the guidance of the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) broadly. Here’s a Coronavirus fact sheet! And a Stop The Spread flyer.  In general, if you are part of a vulnerable population, you should be trying to create ‘social distance’ by greatly reducing how much time you have to be around large groups of people.

We will be in touch further this week and in the coming weeks to let you know what events and meetings have been cancelled and what creative alternatives to in-person BBC meetings will be available. Thank you so much for being a part of this community. We will find ways to stay connected!
