Governor Andrew Cuomo made the decision to reopen schools in New York, which has been a controversial issue for a long time. Governor Cuomo, who has long opposed the plan prepared by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio for the resumption of education in the city, announced at the press conference he held today that the schools would reopen in Fall.

New York Governor Cuomo stated that every school had to comply with the reopening standards they set and that the schools that did not obey the rules could not start education.

According to the reopening plan, each school will present its reopening plan to the New York Department of Health by mid-August, showing that it has met all the requirements to start education. Schools meeting the criteria set by the state of New York will start education in Fall.

Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, had proposed a blended plan where students would study both remotely and at school with a classroom attendance limited to one to three days a week.

In order to reopen the schools in the blended system, there will be cooperation between parents and school administrators to monitor if a student is infected by COVID-19. Students will be required to wear masks in classes.
