Child care centers can reopen June 1, Scott announces

Child care centers can begin to reopen on June 1 and summer camps will be able to operate this summer, Gov. Phil Scott announced Friday.

But with gatherings of more than 10 still prohibited for the time being, Secretary of Education Dan French said that schools should think creatively about alternatives to traditional high school graduation ceremonies.

“For planning purposes, schools should expect that larger group gatherings will not be permitted prior to the end of the school year,” he said.
