Cuomo authorizes New York schools to reopen amid coronavirus pandemic
He said parents and teachers play an integral role in the decision-making
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that schools across the state are “authorized to open” for the 2020 school year amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Every region is well below our COVID infection limit, therefore all school districts are authorized to open,” Cuomo tweeted Friday. “If the infection rate spikes, the guidance will change accordingly. School districts are required to submit plans to NYS for review.”
During a news conference Thursday, Cuomo said it was important that parents and teachers be included in the decision-making.
