鈥淭he COVID-19 Pandemic has placed a tremendous amount of stress and uncertainty on New Yorkers in every corner of the state.听Despite the challenges we are all facing every day, it is time we begin to look at how we can successfully and appropriately reopen our schools.

鈥淭hroughout the pandemic, we have seen many examples of how schools across the state serve as the cornerstone of our communities, which is why it is imperative that they are included in any reopening strategy.

鈥淚n the coming weeks we will form a statewide task force made up of educational leaders, including superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, school board members and other stakeholders, to guide the reopening of our schools.听 By working together with these partners, we can ensure that our children鈥檚 educational, developmental and overall wellbeing is considered during this important discussion.

鈥淲e look forward to working with the Department of Health and sharing recommendations with Governor Cuomo鈥檚 New York Forward Re-Opening Advisory Board.鈥�
