School Reopening Guidelines

Governor Andrew Cuomo has given an official timeline for districts to submit school reopening plans and said he will make a decision on whether or not to reopen schools statewide in the fall by early August. On July 13, the state released finalized reopening guidance for school districts. School districts will then submit their safety plans for reopening by July 31.

Cuomo said New York state will review school district plans the week of August 1-7. The state then will approve, deny, or suggest changes to those plans.
