"We must protect our children," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "We must protect our students; we have to protect our educators."
All schools and colleges in New York state will remain closed for the rest of the academic year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference on Friday.
"The decisions on the education system are critically important," Cuomo said."We must protect our children. We must protect our students; we have to protect our educators." Remote learning will continue at schools and colleges this school year, the governor said, adding that an announcement on summer school programs will be made at the end of May.
Cuomo's announcement Friday comes after an apparent disagreement between him and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio last month on who has the power to close or reopen schools.
