Cuomo closes K-12 schools and Colleges through June

From the Poughkeepsie Journal,

ALBANY - Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday that K-12 schools and colleges will remain closed statewide for the rest of the school year.

He did not say when schools might reopen, saying decisions on summer school and the fall have yet to be determined. Online learning will continue through the academic year.

"There will be no opening of any school in the state for the remainder of the academic calendar year," he said. 

"We have to decide on summer school. That decision will be made by the end of May. There is no decision on the fall because the fall is a long time away."

The announcement was expected as the current order on school closures was set to expire May 15.

Cuomo called on school districts to develop plans to reopen schools that incorporate all public-safety precautions.
