New York State Schools Officially Closed For Remainder of Academic Year Due To Coronavirus (Long Island Press)
Public and private schools across New York State will officially remain closed for the remainder of the academic year to help curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday.
Colleges and universities are included in the order. The governor said schools will continue with distance-learning programs, meal delivery services, and child care for essential workers through the end of the academic year in June. A decision on summer school will be made at the end of the month and a decision on summer camps will also come at a later date, he added.
“We want schools to start develping now a plan to reopen,” Cuomo said, looking to the start of the new academic year in September. “There is no decision on the fall because the fall is a long time away.”
