Gov. Andrew Cuomo said schools in New York state can open for in-person learning this fall due to low coronavirus infection rates. But many teachers have expressed concerns about returning to their classrooms too early.

. According to the governor's office, of the 70,170 test results reported to state health officials on Thursday, 714, or 1%, were positive.

The New York State Department of Health will review reopening plans submitted by school districts to ensure they meet. Cuomo said districts will be notified Aug. 10 of the department's decision. The governor also announced that school districts must publicly post their plans for distance learning and for testing and contact tracing, and hold three to five public meetings with parents before Aug. 21 and at least one with teachers.Teachers have expressed concerns about returning to their classrooms too early.

"We have been clear all along: Health and safety is the most important consideration in reopening school buildings. Viral infection rates tell only one part of the story,", president of New York State United Teachers, which represents more than 600,000 members. "Many educators and parents have anxiety about local school district reopening plans that have been submitted to the state — if they even have been yet, with 127 districts that didn't bother to submit them by last week and 50 considered incomplete by the state," Pallotta said."Right now, there may be some areas where parents and educators are confident in their district's plan, but in many others, we know they aren't.

I volunteer to teach in person. I hold a master's degree in public policy and Ph.D. in political science. I am unabashedly pro-American and pro-Trump. I am also unafraid of this virus. New York, I await your contract offer.

Hire teachers who can teach and care for themselves at the same time. Many children need school away from the home, a good meal, good role models, etc.

Let’s see what happens when there’s another outbreak...

Teachers will never be satisfied. Never. Rest of world has work but oh no not the teachers!! And I realize this is the UNION not necessarily the individuals teaching. You think that UNDERPAID CNA asked to work caring directly for Covid residents Grow the fuck up

Because it’s a BAD idea. Duh

This isn't going to go well

Closing schools is polling poorly apparently

Is Lori Vallow an advisor? This is so reckless and a needless burden on the kids...

The wealthy people who pay the majority of taxes in NY do not want to come back. They are scrambling now. The entire event is going to backfire in spectacular fashion. Hopefully the fed aka the tax payer does not bail them out.

Tell that to all the folks making sure you can get groceries who are earning minimum wage. And the daycare workers who don’t have a union, many of whom are undocumented. Exactly who’s essential here

If you do the right thing, good things can follow. Lesson to the south!

I don't think all students are ready to go back to school. The ones who are bullied aren't. Teachers and principals don't help when students are being bullied. It might be best to have those bullied students learn at home. It's hard to learn in a stressful envirnment.

Oh, it is flu season in a few weeks

Why would Ron DeSantios do this?

Just wait until flu season.

Sounds like a win for leftist new yorkers... if you can overlook the giant pile of dead bodies.
