NY Daily News: Gov. Cuomo says all New York school districts can reopen, but must get specific plans approved by state
Cuomo said last month that school districts would be allowed to reopen in September if the positive test rate for the virus in the region stayed below five percent — a threshold every state region met as of Friday.
This announcement came just a day after the United Federation of Teachers said “The current plan to reopen NYC schools just isn’t safe.”
Every region is well below our COVID infection limit, therefore all school districts are authorized to open.
If the infection rate spikes, the guidance will change accordingly.
School districts are required to submit plans to NYS for review.
