@BoMalinMayor @YaleLJournal@bdellarocca Bo, I would like to reprint a shorter version in a newspaper published by the New York State School Boards Association. Pls contact me at [email protected].
SED says mask mandate remains in place for schools despite judge saying it’s unconstitutional and can only be put in effect by the Legislature. Reason: Hochul plans an immediate appeal, which would stay the ruling
gov’s office says there is no six foot requirement despite what DOH staff said Friday. Removes a major concern about lunchroom seating. see On Board Extra
SED says it shares school leaders’ frustration that state health official have not put out reopening guidance on masks, distancing etc. Commissioner Rosa says state guidance probably will track CDC guidance.
Omitted from prior tweet for space: “Dr. Zucker’s letter to the CDC gave them until Monday to respond. We expect to update the existing guidance tomorrow.
However, at this point masks are still required.”
From Gov:Dear Educators and School Leaders,
I wanted to clarify the mask policy for tomorrow June 7, 2021.
Masks are still required. (omitted material)
Thank you for all your work this year.
Sincerely,
Dan Fuller
Deputy Secretary for Education

DOH wrapping up review of CDC 3-foot guidance within a week, Cuomo said today in response to Q from Tyler Brown of 13 WHAM in Rochester. “This is not easy,” Cuomo said.
