Tracy Baker is our May CEO Star!
Updated Safety Protocols
As a result of NYS’s updated mask mandate guidelines, CEO has revised the most recently issued protocols.
Effective Wednesday May 19th, any staff that are fully vaccinated and have provided proof to Human Resources will be allowed to perform work within CEO sites, including traveling within common areas without a mask or social distancing.
All Early Childhood staff will continue to be required to wear masks while working with children until the NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) provides updated guidance for vaccinated staff. As previously informed, any unvaccinated staff will be required to wear masks and practice social distancing while interacting with any other staff, regardless of vaccinated status or children being present.
Vaccinated staff may continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing if they prefer.
To receive a mask waiver, please forward your vaccination card to Covid@ceoempowers.org .
