Agudath Israel....Ready--- Set----Go! Send In The Clowns...


July 8, 2020


Dear Paul,


I understand many people are anxiously awaiting a decision on school reopening. New York has 700 school districts statewide that range from rural to urban to suburban districts and we have been spending the past weeks and months in discussion with all stakeholders on what September looks like.

 As in every other decision on reopening, our first responsibility is health and safety. All schools are required to submit a reopening plan by the end of July.


We all want schools to open, but we must ensure that it is safe. I wouldn't ask anyone to put their child in a situation that I would not put my child in. Like every decision we make, we will decide based on data and facts. A plan will be announced in the first week of August. 



Ever Upward,
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
