PTI: “While the schools are scheduled to open from July 1 after the summer vacations, increasing Covid cases have become a major concern for the parents yet again." "The state government has stated that it is not in favour of any more disruptions in studies and aims to continue education while keeping the safety of students and teachers at prior," Kapur further said. "At our school, children with low immunity are provided with the option of staying at home, while parents can connect with the school authorities to get the class work of the student at home.

Also, MPS has special classes for students seeking education in isolation," the principal added. Pallavi Upadhyaya, Principal, DPS RNE, Ghaziabad, said, "The concerns of parents about their child's safety are valid, and we have made a personal effort to allay their apprehensions in the midst of the sudden rise in Covid cases. "We have instituted strict abidance to Covid safety protocols, whether it's time to time cleanliness, issuance of hand sanitisers, and prohibition of gatherings in large groups." She said wearing masks in classes is mandatory, and outside access to the playground and campus is restricted due to the heatwaves that the city is grappling with. "We have administered a special healthcare centre which is tasked to take care of unwell students and treat them with utmost diligence," she said.

According to Anshu Mittal, Principal, MRG School in Rohini, parents had an enriching experience when the schools reopened after a gap of two years and are "more than ready" to send their children back to school post vacations. "We will ensure strict adherence to social distancing norms and also arrange drinking water facilities at common points to keep them hydrated.

DOVER, Del. - A jury returned a mixed verdict Friday in the corruption trial of Delaware State Auditor Kathy McGuiness, acquitting her of felony charges but finding her guilty of three misdemeanors.McGuiness, a Democrat elected in 2018, is the first statewide elected official in Delaware to be prosecuted while in office.As state auditor, McGuiness is responsible for rooting out government fraud, waste and abuse but was indicted last year on five charges, including felony counts of theft and witness intimidation.PREVIOUS: Delaware state auditor indicted on public corruption chargesAfter deliberating for about four hours over two days, jurors acquitted McGuiness of the theft and intimidation charges. They found her guilty of the three lesser charges — conflict of interest, official misconduct and structuring a contract to avoid a procurement rule.Prosecutors argued McGuiness abused her position in hiring her daughter, structuring payments under a consulting contract to avoid accounting scrutiny, and intimidating employees who were cooperating with investigators.The defense argued McGuiness was the target of an incompetent and biased investigation spurred by complaints from disgruntled employees as she tried to make changes in her office following her predecessor’s 30-year tenure.The jury verdict followed a two-week trial that featured about two dozen witnesses and hundreds of exhibits including emails, text messages, payroll records and accounting spreadsheets.Prosecutor Mark Denney told jurors that McGuiness "used and abused" her position to hire her daughter and give her special privileges unavailable to other part-time workers.
