As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, school districts and transportation providers will have the authority to allow students and district staff to have personal-size bottles of sanitizer, whose contents should not exceed 8 ounces in volume, while aboard the bus.
Gov. Cuomo says all New York school districts have authorization to reopen. Districts must implement their plans and work with parents, according to the governor.
The governor says schools should post remote learning plans, have a clear plan for COVID-19 testing for students and teachers, and have a plan for contact tracing that is easily accessible to parents.
Gov. Cuomo says schools should also hold at least three listening sessions for parents before school begins in the fall. Big districts should hold five sessions.
A separate discussion should be held for just teachers.
Gov. Cuomo: If the school's plan is not approved by the state, the school can't open.
