Schools and universities in New York state will remain closed through the rest of the current academic year, with current distance learning plans remaining in place, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Friday.
Cuomo said schools could not safely reopen, citing concerns over social distancing in classrooms as well as in transportation, and college dorms. The announcement at the governor’s daily briefing extends a previous closure order — which shut schools through May 14 — to the end of the academic year.
« We don’t think it’s possible to do that in a way that would keep our children and students and educators safe.
