Resources needed for schools to reopen safely

NYSSBA.org

An array of safety protocols have been issued as part of the state guidelines for schools to reopen in September. "I believe that everybody's motivation is in the right place," said Jay Worona, Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel for the New York School Boards Association. "There are issues with respect to how are we going to pay for these things." Worona shared his concerns during a conversation this morning on WBFO.

Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. - 10 a.m.

Jay joined Buffalo Toronto Public Media in 2008 and has been local host for NPR's "Morning Edition" ever since. In June, 2022, he was named one of the co-hosts of WBFO's "Buffalo, What's Next."

A graduate of St. Mary's of the Lake School, St. Francis High School and Buffalo State College, Jay has worked most of his professional career in Buffalo. Outside of public media, he continues in longstanding roles as the public address announcer for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League and as play-by-play voice of Canisius College basketball.
