New York schools will remain closed for the remainder of the academic year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.
The schools – kindergarten through high school as well as college facilities — will continue to provide distance learning.
Summer school programming plans will be announced by the end of the month, Cuomo said.
"In the meantime, meal programs will continue, the child care services for essential workers will continue," Cuomo said.
"And then we want schools to start now developing a plan to reopen, and the plan has to have protocols in place that incorporate everything that we are now doing in society and everything that we learned."
Cuomo said those plans for schools and colleges will be approved by the state.
The New York City school system is the largest in the country. According to Cuomo, there are 4.2 million students in the entire state — including those at 4,800 public schools, 1,800 private schools, 89 SUNY and CUNY college campuses and additional private colleges.
