The Buffalo Teacher's Federation released the following statement
This school year has begun with and will continue to have challenges unlike any we have faced before. A life threatening virus, the severe shortage of school personnel, school bus drivers, and critical lifesaving protocols are but a few challenges. Buffalo teachers understand the concerns of parents and our community. We ask that rather than angry displays and actions that there be understanding and cooperation as we work together to overcome these unprecedented challenges. We are committed to continue working with you. Isn’t that what we want our children to see and internalize? Shall we begin?
