There is still much that needs to be worked out before New York students can return to classrooms. But unlike other states, New York is pushing ahead with plans to reopen some schools.
Cuomo reserved the right to change course to prevent a resurgence of Covid-19 in a state still badly scarred by its first bout with the deadly virus. Prior to his announcement Friday, the governor’s staff was busy tamping down rumors that were picking up steam that he was going to delay the start of in-person education.
The state’s test positivity rate has hovered around 1 percent in recent weeks, and Cuomo has said he will order schools to shut back down if that percentage in a given region exceeds 9 percent over a seven-day average. Cuomo’s decision Friday was expected, and now the political center of gravity shifts back to the local level after the governor exerted an extraordinary amount of authority over school decisions during much of the crisis.
