CNY high school seniors pose for group photo with no masks, no distancing on 1st day of school

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. — A group photo of Baker High School seniors posing together on the first day of school — with no masks or social distancing — is sparking concern among some parents and district officials.



The photo, shared on Facebook and Instagram before people posting it took it down, shows 48 smiling Baldwinsville district students posing next to each other under a pavilion at a park Wednesday morning.


No one is wearing masks, and no one is distanced in the photo. The caption on one post said the photo was taken at Kerri Hornaday Park in Baldwinsville’s Radisson development and reads; “First Day of School ... Senior Breakfast. Let the traditions begin.”



High school students gathering for a group photo does not appear to be an isolated incident. Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon at his daily briefing Thursday expressed his concern after seeing a similar group photo from a different district that county officials did not identify.



The students gathering without masks or social distancing comes the same week that most schools in Central New York and across the state are trying to reopen classrooms amidst the coronavirus pandemic.



Schools have dramatically changed with students and staff wearing masks, and people being spaced apart in classrooms and on buses in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. Hybrid schedules with some in-person and some distance learning are being used in most districts because there isn’t enough room for everyone to be in a classroom with people safely distancing from each other.

Not the brightest group of graduating seniors!

There's too many stupid people in this Country. Stupid people who listen to politicians sitting in their ivory towers instead of scientists. That's why we'll never be over this until an effective vaccine is developed. Pretty sad state of affairs if you ask me.

Did anyone watch the 911 commencement with cuomo, the obamas and others. I was shocked to see them all sitting right next to each other not six ft apart and not one had on a mask. After listening to Cuomo preaching all this time since Covid and stating its NYS law for all to wear a mask in public wondering how this came to be.

I guess this was prerecorded show from when obama was POTUS.
