On Monday night, Senate Republicans released the details of their latest $1 trillion coronavirus relief package. Included is $70 billion for K-12 schools, most of which will go to schools that elect to re-open with at least some in-person instruction: "Republicans earmark $70 billion for K-12 schools, but tie bulk of funding to in-person learning."
Here in New York, the Department of Health issued its "Interim Guidance for In-Person Instruction at Pre-K to Grade 12 Schools During the COVID-1 Public Health Emergency" on July 13. At that time, Governor Andrew Cuomo made this announcement:
Schools in a region can reopen if that region is in Phase IV of reopening and if its daily infection rate remains below 5 percent or lower using a 14-day average since unPAUSE was lifted. Schools will close if the regional infection rate rises above 9 percent, using a 7-day average, after August 1. New York State will make the formula determination during the week of August 1 to 7.The state's nearly 700 school districts must submit their plans for reopening to the NYS Department of Health and the Reimagine Education Advisory Council on Friday, July 31. The night before the plans must be submitted to the state, on Thursday, July 30, at 7:00 p.m., the Hudson City School District will present its plans for reopening to the public. HCSD superintendent Maria Suttmeier tweeted this announcement last night.
